We are a direct sales distributor with a contract directly with the property owner. We have yet to receive final payment and the last material we provided arrived on site 1/7/21. The property is in Pennsylvania. Can we file a lien without a Notice of Intent since we were directly contracted by the owner, and if so, what is the deadline to file based on the above date?
If you have a direct written and enforcable contract with the property owner, you have 6 months from the last date that you provided labor or materials to improve the property pursuant to that agreement. If there is a direct contract, no additional notice would be required because the owner knows they received the work, were billed for the contribution, and simply declined to pay.
