Pomona is a busy city with great schools, parks, and places to eat. It’s near Los Angeles, but it still feels like a small town in many areas. Lots of people rent homes or apartments here. But renting isn’t always easy. Some landlords raise rent without warning. Others don’t fix things or try to scare tenants into moving out.
That’s not right. And it’s not legal.
At The Law Firm for Tenant Rights, we help renters in Pomona fight back. You have rights. And we help you use them. If your landlord is being unfair, call us. We will help you protect your home.
Many people in Pomona deal with high rent. A simple one-bedroom can cost over $1,500. Some landlords use this to charge more money or skip fixing things. We’ve helped renters in places like Downtown Pomona, Phillips Ranch, and North Pomona with problems like rent going up without notice, mold, leaks, or pests, broken heaters or no hot water, threats of eviction, and security deposits that don’t come back. If these things sound familiar, you’re not the only one going through this. And you don’t have to deal with it by yourself.
California law gives renters many strong rights. These rights protect you from bad landlords. But many renters don’t know what these rights are. That’s why we’re here.
We help you understand the law. We show you what to do. And we don’t let landlords walk all over you.
No. Landlords must follow the law. In most cases, rent can only go up once per year. The increase must be small—about 5% plus inflation. They must give you notice in writing—at least 30 days or maybe 60 days.
If your rent goes up without warning, call us. We’ll check if it’s legal.
Yes. Landlords must fix things that affect health and safety. That means no mold, no broken heaters, no rats or bugs. If your toilet doesn’t flush or your roof leaks, your landlord must fix it.
Ask in writing. Keep a copy. If landlords don’t fix it, we can help.
No. The law says they need a real reason. That’s called “just cause.” They can’t evict you just because they feel like it. If you got an eviction notice, don’t leave yet. Call us first. We may be able to stop it.
Your landlord must return it within 21 days after you move out. If they keep any of it, they must say why in writing. If they lie or keep too much, we will help you get it back.
No. Landlords must give you 24 hours’ written notice before coming into your home—unless it’s an emergency. If they show up without warning, that’s illegal.
You have the right to privacy.
If your landlord keeps calling, texting, or showing up to scare you, that’s harassment. The law protects you from this. We can help stop it.
Yes. You can ask for lower rent, more time to pay, or rules that work better for you. You don’t have to sign a lease that feels unfair. We help renters like you ask for changes, and get them.
We talk to Pomona renters every day—from students at Cal Poly Pomona to families in Westmont. Here are some of the questions we hear:
That’s illegal. Call us. We’ll help you get it turned back on.
Maybe—but only if you first ask for repairs in writing. If they don’t fix it, we’ll walk you through the next steps.
No. Your landlord still has to give you proper notice and a legal reason.
Not for things like heat, plumbing, or broken locks. That’s their job.
Nope. That’s called “retaliation,” and it’s against the law.
Big problems—like no water or heat—must be fixed within 48 hours. Smaller ones should be done in a few days.
