Hi. My GC agreed to build my house for $400k. That was all I had and did not want a mortgage. We did not sign any contract. I live in SC. Now we are $100k+ over budget and some subcontractors are not paid and they are placing liens on my property. I have no more money and I still do not have a certificate of occupancy. I do not know what I can do to protect my property. Can you advise me?...Read More

I'm still confused about the Alabama Prompt Payment Act as it pertains to municipalities and counties. The Act appears to stipulate on public work projects the requirements if the State of Alabama is a party to the contract. So how are public work projects for municipalities addressed by the Act?...Read More
So I filed a lean on a client with levelset I believe in January. Because I have not been paid, filing a lawsuit is rather costly. If I have an expired lean and I do not enforce the lean with a lawsuit within the 90 days And the client passes away the property gets turned over to the children, are they still required by law to pay the expired lien?...Read More

Completion of construction occurred on Aug. 20 and a lien was timely recorded by the claimant who provided labor and materials. Therefore, the deadline to foreclose is this Feb. 20. Homeowner says they need more time to have a structural engineer inspect for further issues, so they won't settle before the litigation deadline. The claimant would prefer not to litigate, but is unwilling to let his leverage expire with the statutory deadline. It appears he will not to file for foreclosure to preserve his rights, even if the homeowner later finds no issues and wants to settle. Is there any way to extend the 6-month deadline for filing the foreclosure action?...Read More

I moved into a house last year that needed a lot of work and maintenance done. The landlord offered to pay for the materials if I did the work. I did the work with the understanding that I would be able to live here until I was able to buy a house 5-10 years. There are dozens of emails and texts clearly stating this. My landlord has decided to sell the house here in California where we live and profit from the hard work and improvements I made at a great personal and financial sacrifice. Clearly once the house is sold he cannot guarantee my lease here any longer so I want to be paid for my work. How do I file a lien to make that happen....Read More

I am Homeowner, Received claims money from Pipe Law suite, I used the plumbing contractor the lawyer used. They did half the work, left me with the use of one toilet and kitchen sink for two months, In their contract it stated they would pour back the cement floors, then they said they will not and they could not finish the job until the floors are fixed, they are the one how dug up the floors. I am a black female with triple negative breast cancer. I tired through several emails and phone calls which were never answered. I had no plumbing. They were fraudulent in what they did do and what they say they were going to due. Now they are trying to take my house I paid them 1/2 (11,820)the contract cost up front before they would even start the work, 11,820. The 5 Day Notice of cure from their lawyer stated I only owed 11,820. They stated in the Lien that was filed with Hillsborough County that I did not pay them anything, and that I owed them $25,640 + 13,820 for labor when labor was included in the contract. So it was increased to 39,460 which is more than the original contract. They left me with no plumbing and I had to get another plumber who would go behind their work and finish connecting the pipes so I would have water. There is more bad stuff, how were they allowed to sent it to court when they lied. I have Pictures emails and copy of certified check that was paid. I have to file more doc for the discovery period by 02/11/22. I don not have a lawyer and few that I talked to did not care for the case. What do I do?...Read More

In my situation, I had been living on the property for 2 months while completing all the tasks I was hired for...I have a glass company out of Las Vegas but helping a friend of mine on his job in California...starting with windows but ended up being interior paint and flooring as well.Im not sure if the Gen Contractor has a licence but I do not...we had a verbal agreement and he's paid $5000 so far but asked me to move out when I requested respiratory equipment when asked to remove a LARGE amount of rat feces throughout the house...now he is refusing to pay the balance of $7200. Is filing a NOI on this million $ property going to help me at all? If not what should I do?...Read More
My husband was a subcontractor for a company that remodels Walmarts and Best Buy. This is regarding a job done for Best Buy where the contractor refuses to pay for work done since November. The contractor owes many people money. They had no formal contract however they have proof that they worked there and how much they were getting paid up until late payments and then non payments. What are our first steps? We are limited on money as are many of the other workers since they basically worked close to two months free so what can be done? We live in Georgia, the work was done in North Carolina and the contractor lives in Ohio. ...Read More
