We placed a lien on a property we worked on recently due to lack of payment. The customer has now served us, claiming we may be violating Idaho code 45-525. If this is required, we may just be doing that as I never completed this form. We did file a notice of lien. ...Read More
We were hired directly by a public school and we went to send a preliminary notice and found out that's not possible since we're technically the GC in this situation. We just want to make sure that we're not going to miss any timelines in case getting payment becomes a problem later on.
Is there anything we should do to ensure payment?...Read More

I have a customer who is doing a job for the government (IRS). I've already filed a lien on the control portion of it and now there is some parts that weren't paid for up front. Can I add the parts on to the lien filed for the controls or do I have to do a separate for the parts? I want to make sure that I have everything in line for the lien since its a government job....Read More
I'm a GC on a project in Massachusetts. I signed a contract with someone for the excavation for $16,500. It had a date of completion in the contract of November 4th. He missed this timeline by about 2 weeks before I finally removed him from the project. He is now claiming he removed more dirt from the site than the contracted amount and has filed a lien for $40,000 in total. I'm not sure what to take as next steps....Read More
I am an individual, not a contractor.
I was in the process of purchasing a house from a neighbor.
The house is elevated near the water.
The foundation poles were rotted and the house was sagging.
We had a hurrican pending and the owner and I both were concerened about the stability of the house.
In the week before the storm came in I agreed to repair and replace the support post and stabilize the house at a cost of $18,000.
The house owner agreed to verbally to pay me back in the event that the sale did not go through. He also agreed to email me a simple document to that effect.
I paid to have the house repaired but the man did not send the document confirming the agreement.
The sale of the house did not go through and now the owner says that he is not going to reimburse me.
How can I file a lien on this property?

We terminated an employee and he states that he is still owed money, however we have records that he has been paid all that he is owed. Unfortunately he is insisting that he is still owed more and is threatening to place liens on our customers that still owe our company money. Is this allowed in the state of Florida?...Read More

Can undocumented laborers file a lien if they aren't paid? I just watched Immigration Nation on Netflix where the laborers came in to South Carolina to work after Hurricane Michael and did a bunch of work for Winterfell Construction, but didn't get paid. I was wondering why none of the immigrants have tried filing a mechanics lien against Winterfell or the owner, Tommy Hamm. I haven't seen anything in the laws that would prevent it.
Of course, the company they filed a lien against could just report them to ICE, since they have to provide their contact information on the claim. Is there any way for a laborer to file a lien and protect their identity at the same time? Can someone else file a lien on their behalf?...Read More
