Stop Mechanic's Lien from contractor

First, is the contractor licensed and did he give you a preliminary notice. If either didn't happen he can't lien. However, other than that he can lien within 90 days from the date of the last work, but unless he forecloses the lien within eight months, the lien disappears. If he does foreclose, you can raise all your issues in defense. Also, if he is a licensed contractor, you can claim against his bond to recover your additional expenses.

Can tenant put lein on property for time and money spent on project he chose to do on property?

If the tenant is not a licensed contractor in Washington, he cannot put a lien on the property. Also, I am guessing your lease or rental agreement states any improvements made by the tenant revert to the property at the end of the lease.
