The contractor did not finish the job and make up the invalid number, which is different from the contract. They put the lien on my property. What should I do to remove it?
Mechanics liens are tools that get construction participants paid, yet they can be abused. Property owners and other interested parties may need to take steps to have an insuffcient lien removed.
There are multiple options that you may pursue when a lien is filed against your property. The three most common steps to take when fighting an invalid lien include :
1. Immediately dispute the lien
2. Force the claimant to file suit to enforce the lien in a shorter period
3. Wait it out
I hope that helps!
