Is the owner/landlord responsible for paying me, or can I only file my claim against the tenant's interests?

California

I filed liens on fitness center jobs in TX and IL. The fitness centers went bankrupt (they are my client - I was supplying materials directly to them). The fitness centers were tenants, and now attorneys for the owners/landlords are saying I don't have lien rights and demanding I cancel the lien. Is it true that the owners/landlords would not be responsible in these states? Does only the tenant have responsibility to make sure I get paid?

Sounds like 24 Hour Fitness. 

Attorney's in Texas have indicated that under Texas law the lien only attaches to the tenant's interest under this scenario. But you may be elibile for better treatment as a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy creditor with this lien if the tenant is going to keep the lease. In IL you have a better shot at pursuing the lien whether or not the lease will remain. But relief from the bankruptcy stay will be required. 

You will want to consider filing a notice of perfection in the Bankrupcty court for both IL and TX depending on how the leases will be treated. If it is 24 hour fitness, do not delay, as the BK is already in motion.

I had an idea to start exercising in a fitness center. Recently, a new one even opened near my house. I went to the gym a couple of times and lost interest in the sport. I don't know how to force myself.

I am not a lawyer, but I can offer some general information that might be helpful. In most cases, the responsibility for payment typically lies with the party that has entered into a contract or agreement with you. If you have a contract or agreement with the tenant, then your claim would likely be against the tenant's interests. Speaking about fitness, prioritize a well-rounded fitness regimen that includes proper nutrition, consistent training, adequate rest, and recovery practices. Some users believe that anavar steroid can contribute to improved strength and power, allowing for more intense training sessions. Fitness and the use of steroids have been a subject of intense discussion and controversy within the fitness community. While some individuals may consider using steroids to enhance their fitness goals, it's important to approach this topic with a comprehensive understanding of the potential benefits, risks, and ethical considerations involved.

In some cases, the owner/landlord might not have direct responsibility for paying you if your contract was with the tenant. However, it's important to consult with a legal professional who specializes in construction and lien laws in the respective states to get accurate advice tailored to your situation. Remember that laws can differ from state to state, and it's crucial to have a legal expert review your specific circumstances. If you believe you have valid lien rights, it's best to consult with an attorney who can guide you through the process and help you understand your options.
