For Retainage are you limited to the 90 day for Filing a Lien in Florida? We have a job that was Bonded and a Hud job that we've been told repeatedly that the owners and Hud had not signed off on for retainage to be released. We had personally changes in the office and were not sure when the project was actually approved for retainage billing. After several months of being given the run around from the GC about the status of the retainage we submitted a lien. Now we have been contacted from an Attorney of the Owners stating that we can't file this lien due to the time frame of when we were last on the project.

I was contacted and then issued a PO by the Clifton Public Schools to replace the wall safety padding in School 17 which was damaged by storm Ida. This was an insurance claim filed with their carrier.
After the work was completed the school/principal is refusing to pay the PO complaining about they wanted a different type of wall pad, that didn't show the anchors etc. which was more costly and wasn't what was there originally.
Meanwhile, she wasn't the who hired me to do this job.

I did a project for a 2 story commercial building- part of a larger complex of condominiums
Have a good written detailed agreement, finished the job, emailed everything, they offered partial payment, I declined, offered to defer a little until permits release, but they have gone silent, so I think I should file a lien.- or a Notice first if necessary.
The project involved changing the 2nd floor office condo replacing it with two apartments
There is an existing occupied Dr. Office condo on the first floor. Its in Middlesex
Last date of service was Nov 13, 2021.
