Can someone file a lien on my place of business?

Texas

I had a contractor not do driveway work as he stated he was going to do (method) and he did more work than I asked for and agreed upon now he wants more money after he was paid the original amount. Can he file a lien on my business property or business? There was no written contract.

You really should retain a construction attorney to review your legal situation and to provide advice based on your documents and circumstances.

If a contractor who contracted directly with the owner believes that the contractor is owed money, the contractor may choose to file a mechanic's lien against the property on which the contractor worked. If that work was on your business property, then that property could receive a mechanic's lien. For work on a business property, there is no requirement for a written contract.

That said, a contractor's filing of a mechanic's lien against your business property does not mean that the lien is valid.

Retain a construction attorney.

Good luck.

Thanks for the information. We had similar incidents with contractors when we opened our firm. Luckily we fixed them. Unfortunately, this is where the customers suffer. Therefore, I decided to go to the site https://wow24-7.io/call-center and consult with experts. Thanks to support and advice, we have developed our own strategy for working with contractors. And we stopped losing customers.

Have you heard of Twitch advertising on the Internet? It's quite common these days. So I did a search and decided to buy watch hours for this service streamerplus.com/twitch-viewer-bot. Therefore, now I can completely easily and quickly collect likes on my Twitch account and become widespread on this social network. If you are still interested in it, you can try ot to use this source.
