Breach of contract can i file lien

California

We have a signed contract with said HOA board for painting entire complex. This signed contract was used to get a bank load for capital improvement for the HOA board. All was well and a start date was set to start painting – as you can imagine with a project like this a lot of planning goes into contracts like this. Equipment was order to be set on site and large amount of paint was purchases to start painting. One week into project – the HOA board calls an emergency meeting without their HOA property management representative. During this meeting the board as us to stop all work – do not come onto their property anymore and had their property management company send us a stop work and cease and desist cause they fires us from the job. We turned around and sent expensive equipment that we had rented back to owner due to us renting equipment on a daily basis. We stopped our paint account and asked them to bill us for amount of paint already used. Please keep in mind that this project was projected for 5 months length of time to completion. Upon advising our employees of said cancelled contract – we had employees quite on us. We did get a deposit of 80K but have an outstanding balance of 171K – can we put a lien on the Looking to get some guidance my name is Hector Barragan 714-496-4424 Thank you for your time.
