I'm a manager with no ownership interest for a small apartment building in CA. The owner asked me to remodel a unit, so I executed a contract with a licensed GC on behalf of the owner to perform the work. The licensed GC used day laborers (not on payroll) to perform the work. Everything went smoothly until the third week, when the day laborers told me they hadn't been paid for that week. Up until that point, I believe they were being paid in cash. Long story short, the GC ran off with the laborers money. My contract indemnifies me against this claim. The laborers then placed a lien on the building, and the Labor Commission subsequently filed a lawsuit against me personally to recover unpaid wages. The mechanics lien has several significant errors, including the wrong amount of days the laborers worked and a misrepresentation of the actual work completed. I have some evidence to support my claim that the alleged days work and work completed is incorrect.
