I would need to see the contract before weighing in on your question and understand the nature of the improvement being completed. Assuming the facts
you have stated are accurate, it sounds like your contractor may be in breach of contract. You may want to get additional bids from other contractors to find
out the cost to complete the work so you can evaluate your damages if you need to bring a claim.

If you are located in MInnesota and depending upon what is in the Declaration creating what you have described as a form of common interest community,
you may have a lien that can be foreclosed for unpaid Association dues. Alternatively, the Association could bring a collection action in conciliation court for
past due moneys, but that will not solve the problem if it continues.

A contractor has 120 days from the last date of work to serve you notice of their lien and record the same with the County Recorder/Registrar. If they fail to

questions, feel free to call. Rebecca Heltzer HELTZER LAW OFFICE, LLC 651-330-8508
