Contractor is threatening me that I will be sued for Slander of Title. If lien is not released by Friday. The contractor doesn’t want to pay me the remaining balance. Any thoughts
Slander of title requires proof of four elements: (1) publication of a slanderous statement; (2) its falsity; (3) malice; and (4) resulting special damages. If you are rightfully due the remaining balance, your lien is not slanderous, false, or filed with malice. You were simply exercising your legal right under §45-501 of the Idaho Code.
