Mechanics liens are generally filed for construction-related work that's been performed but has not been paid for. When physical work has not been done to permanently improve the property, a mechanics lien will generally not be appropriate. Merely maintaining or cleaning a property generally won't give rise to lien rights, either. Instead, for lien rights to come into play, some lasting effect on the property must be made. Here at the Expert Center, we generally focus on construction payment and construction law questions. So, for more information about potential recovery options for potential recovery options here, sites like Avvo.com and JustAnswer.com might be more helpful.
