I own a cleaning business and was hired by a business 7 years ago to clean 3 of their salons on a weekly basis. The owner became very belligerent over the years, always behind in payments as well as returned checks.March 1st they replaced us with another service without notice. Most companies have final payment in hand. This business did not and at the time was two months behind. I have faithfully sent invoices to include late payments totaling $2810.00. I received checks last week stating FINAL PAYMENT, HOWEVER they were short $1645.00. With the help of Levelset, we have sent Notice to lean to the Property owner(the business I worked for rents the building) also sent Notice to business owner with intent to lean. (Mechanics Lean) Owner of property called me yesterday 05/14/2020 and stated I do not have right to lean his property.Do I ??? What to do? I know if I accept these checks/deposit them, I am accepting final payment. Can't do. I will send copies of invoices again today with balance due. Legally where do I stand & what's the next step I should take? Thank you! Donna Smith Impeccable Cleaning LLC. info@impeccablecleaningllc.com
