If a contractor fires his construction crew and he does not pay them what they say he owes ,can crew file a mechanic lien to the homeowner if the homeowner deals only with the contractor?
Hello,
It depends. Was the construction crew part of the contractor's company operating as workers for that company or were they completely independent subcontractors?
In the event the crew worked for the contractor did the firing as part of the contractor's company, you have a wage and labor claim.
In the event the fired persons were legitimate subcontractors, they may still file a lien on the property assuming none of the deadlines have run.
