Overdue Rent Ruling: A Pomona judge was expected to sign an order this week that would award nearly $871,000 to an Irvine company for overdue rent owned on a City of Industry warehouse it owns.
Superior Court Judge Robert G. Gustaveson ruled Thursday that World Sales Inc. owes the back rent to landlord Lincoln Industry Associates in Irvine for the warehouse it was leasing on Arenth Avenue. World is a warehousing company that worked primarily with food suppliers.
Sheldon J. Fleming of Orange, the lawyer who represented Lincoln, said World stopped paying its monthly rent in September, 1991. The company had been paying $50,000 a month, but the amount due later escalated to $75,000 a month. Besides the rent due from that time, Gustaveson included another $219,000 in the judgment that was supposed to have been free rent for the first five months of the lease but became due because of the later non-payment.
