I want to file a lien against my landlord for renovating a small bathroom that had unaddressed black mold issues I fixed

CaliforniaMechanics LienPreliminary NoticeRight to Lien

I've lived in a 1 Bedroom Cottage for 4 years+ now and am having issues with my landlord, which has led to her filing an erroneous UD claim (unlawful detainer/eviction) against me and my girlfriend (who intentionally remains unnamed in the complaint as "other occupant(s)"- yet likely could be argued she had a key and then therefore is a de facto tenant) and is making false, down-right defamatory, bogus claims about my use of the property and behavior to get around "non-payment" style evictions prohibited by the Pandemic Moratorium on evictions for non-payment , and is being addressed by myself pro se wise in Court here in Sacramento, CA. SO.... with all that being said, here's my question: Considering I had told the landlord about a Skylight Water Leak issue nearly 4 years ago that occurred during a bad rainstorm, and she asked me if I could repair it, which I replied "Sure, no problem" and took care of it, can I place a Mechanic's Lien on her property for Non-Payment since I was never given either Rent Credit or Cash in return yet she benefited, plus this was all over the phone as an oral request/agreement?
