1. We are a Subcontractor and work under a GC. Our contract states that we are 'paid when paid' by GC from owner within 10 days. Trying to figure out if there is a proper time to file the intent to lien or the actual lien. For example. if it is July and we are still awaiting a payment from April's draw- is this normal protocol to file a lien? 2. What is the stance on filing a mechanic's lien for retention close the the 30 day AFTER the notice of completion is filed?
