City Job, we are the GC. What type of bond should the City provide to secure our payment? If we do not have lien rights, what do we need to get up front from them that may help us?...Read More
We are a GC on a residential project that was completed on July 7th. When trying to get paid they decided they wanted us to do some clean up before payment so we went back out on August 8th. We have been asking for payment since then. They came back and said we weren't done with everything but they won't tell us what needs to be done. One of our company owners was supposed to met the customer out at the job to go over any items that they thought we missed but we got stood up. They wont email or text any kind of list of things they want completed. We have a Affidavit of Mechanics Lien ready to be sent but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to file the lien and then send the recorded lien to the customer or if we can send a copy of the lien that is going to get filed and then file the lien?...Read More

Hello
Roof claim in mid 2020, I believe I signed an AOB back then. Shady on a cellphone , no copy of anything ever given to me. Insurance denied the claim. The roofer did nothing after denied, stated he was using a lawyer but was not. So I contacted a lawyer in early 2021 and litigation started. The roofing company was involved because they started the claims process. No work was ever started or performed by roofing company on my property.
Today I have a settlement dollar amount accepted by my Law firm. They want the roofing company on the check. They state the roofing company released the AOB in exchange for Direction to Pay and Letter of Protection. I never agreed to that. I will not sign the Law Firms Final Closing Statement to get a check with the roofers name on it. It seems fraudulent to swap an AOB for another power of Direction to pay and letter.
Any guidance will be helpful
Thank you...Read More

I had a rent to own contract for one year. The manufactured home was completely unlivable. The bank would not even Finance the home. I had a year to fix it up with my own money and get it financeable while I also paid $1000 a month in rent that would not go towards any payment for the home. I spent over 20,000 out of my pocket to completely gut out and remodel this manufactured home with a contract between the owners and I that they would sell me the property for 210,000 once the year was up. With the stipulation that I would have 60 Days from the end of the contract to close out the sale of the home. Right Before the year was up I contacted a loan manager to get the loan ready and going. For some reason the loan manager was not able to close out the home by the 60 days even though I was in constant contact with him and he kept reassuring me everything was fine and we would be closing out on time. He was also for some reason in contact with the home owner letting them also know the progress of the loan. Right before the 60 days was up the loan manager told me he would not be able to close out the loan on time and he would not move any further with the home loan unless the owners agreed to give him 2 more weeks which they decided no they did not want to do. I should also mention I had to pay for the house to get appraised as part of the loan of buying it and it was appraised a little over $100,000 over the cost they were selling it to me for . I just went to court for eviction on this property and have 3 days to get out with no equity reimbursement or material reimbursement for all the work that I have put into it. What can I do about this and who would I talk to. I have a contractor's license would I be able to put a lien on the manufactured home until I am reimbursed for payment for the work that I've done?...Read More
