Want to put a lein on a property befor it’s sold

GeorgiaRight to Lien

I have been cutting a yard for over three years and the now owner owes me 5500 and he is selling the property in two days. Can I enforce my lein on the property before he sells and how

Generally, mechanics liens aren't available for regular, non-permanent maintenance like mowing a lawn. More substantial work, like landscaping installation, may give rise to lien rights. But, work that's regularly required and doesn't permanently change the property - like mowing a lawn - generally won't be substantial enough to give rise to mechanics lien rights. With that being said, other methods - like sending a demand letter or taking them to small claims court - could lead to payment.
