I have tenants in my AZ home who had an unauthorized, unapproved water softener and reverse osmosis system installed in my home. Their lease is almost up. I have requested the receipts for the installation and the removal of both by a licensed qualified plumber. Should I get lien receipts for these as well?
Arizona I was approved to do work Via email from property management company for their customers home. However I learned they placed a hold on invoice until they research approvals for the last 60 days plus. Are we able to file a lien on that property, or do I have to file in small claims against the property management company?
ArizonaI am a property caretaker. I was hired to maintain an income property which included all the maintenance and housekeeping of this property which is an Airbnb. We provided professional services, tools and materials in the upkeep of the property so the homeowner can make money renting it out repeatedly each month. They are not wanting to pay their final bill.
Arizonaas an hvac contractor that has finished work on a project that is over 20 days old, do we have any recourse? what about with just repairs we do on a job? we have had a couple of jobs, that have not paid and I am just thinking about protecting ourselves in the future or filing if we fail to get paid immediately upon completion
ArizonaHi,
Ware a licensed drywall subcontracting company and recently have been running issues on receiving payments on projects. Once we invoice the gc how long is it until we receive? For the majority many contracts state net 30 but we run into owners haven paid gc and then we dont get paid almost 65-70 days after
ArizonaI've read your article "Primer on Mechanic's Liens and Bonding a Mechanic's Lien". It describes that a property owner can contact a surety bond company to purchase a surety bond that replaces the value of the lien that was filed against the property. If I understand you correctly, then a property owner can just obtain a payment bond from an insurance company and file that bond with their county recorders office and that act removes their property from the Mechanic's Lien or any future Mechanic's Liens from any other potential contractors?
ArizonaProperty owner obtained a proposal for work on property but did not enter into contract. Property owner did provide 20% down to schedule project, however project never scheduled. Property owner informed business did not wish to proceed with work by business before project scheduled.
ArizonaThanks for answering my question!!!
We live in Arizona. We had flooding at a house we had listed for sale. We called a mitigation company and they had a sister company that did the restoration side of work. We filled out contract papers for the mitigation company, and after their work was done they sent an invoice and we paid it in full (we are working with our insc. company as well).
Their sister company began the restoration work on/around 6/28 but once I got the invoice from the claim adjuster, I contacted the restoration company and advised them to stop all work on 7/3. On 7/12 they emailed a 20 day pre-lien notice. We allowed them a chance to re-price the project to keep the job and met on 7/15 to review their adjusted #'s. In the end their numbers were too high and we decided to use a different GC, and advised them of this on 8/5.
Within minutes of advising them of this, they replied that there was HVAC work done that they forgot to add on the initial invoice, and as we were now acting as the GC, they aren't waiting for the insc. company to pay out and want their $ asap.
The amount of their initial bill (sent after I had them stop all work) was $11,189.65. When they provided us the second quote that showed amount of their current work done and reduced rate for work yet to be done...the total for work completed matched the $11,189.65.
On 8/14 they sent the new invoice which was $2433.00 more and said if not paid within 7 days they will file the lien.
I looked on the invoice they sent the adjuster and it did included their charges for the duct work which only totaled $247.46.
As I couldn't for the life of me figure out where the extra $2433 came from, today 8/15, I asked for a invoice that broke down all charges and am waiting for that to review.
I advised I was o.k. with the 7 day period to file a lien if we didn't pay, but stated that I believed the seven day time frame should begin from the date we agree on the total amount due.
I have no signed contract or paperwork with this company. (they emailed me a work contract but it has not been signed at this point).
I have been trying to familiarize myself with my rights and the legal details around a lien. I also recall reading somewhere that if the amount changes by more than 20% Arizona requires another pre-lien notice be sent (and their price increase is 21.74 %) and they did not send a second pre-lien notice.
I feel they suddenly "remembered charges for work done" the minute we decided not to use them to finish the remaining work as up until that point there was never mention of it.
Please advise what my protection rights/legal rights are at this point with no signed contract and me disputing the additional new charges?
Do I have recourse to prevent the 7 day time frame until they file the lien until we can agree on the amount due?
Thanks for any insight and guidance you can provide!
ArizonaIf a home owner will not pay and I have already lost one case of invalid lien, my question is can I go after more than what is owed besides attorney fees. Is there a way to charge him with stress non payment, loss of vendors because of non payment. I just would like to know if there is any thing else I can get from him its going on 2yrs of non payment
ArizonaWhen we receive multiple preliminary notices from a specific vendor on the same job, should those totals be added together or is the most recent notice the only amount the claimant is claiming?
ArizonaRecently an HOA in Arizona filed a lien on a vacant lot I own for unpaid HOA fees. I now have the money to fully pay them back all fees and to bring me current. What would be the best way to get the HOA to release the lien on the property? What documents would need to be filed with the County (Mohave) or State to show the debt has been satisfied?
ArizonaIm in accounting wanting to apply for a job in construction in which I'm familiar with liens and so on. Its just been a minute so I'm trying to refresh my memory
ArizonaI'm a general contractor. A subcontractor agreed to install driveway pavers, that I supplied, for a set price, that was about the same as other bids. He sent me an invoice for almost twice what was agreed to. Now he threatens to file a lien. I don't think he can, based on what I understand about AZ lien laws, especially since I paid him with a check marked "in full of account", which he cashed, for slightly more than the agreed-on amount.
ArizonaCompleted a project that was substantially completed earlier this year where we requested the final invoice to be paid. They were past their 30 days of payment when they advised us the fans installed did not work to their satisfaction. We agreed to fix these and provided additional fans to increase the air flow they wanted. The re-work has been completed as on June 28. We allowed them to work with the fans prior to requesting final payment. They now advise us the fans provide to much air which entail has to much wind noise and do not want to pay for this portion of the project (which is the outstanding balance). They have stated that the new work does provide the quality of airflow however are not happy with the wind noise (which is only at maximum level and it’s 17 fans set on 6 variable speed controllers), this is their reason of not wanting to pay. We the work provided was on the original contact, the fans were requested to provide air flow during the hot Arizona days under a covered arena. We would like to know if we are able to lien this project.
ArizonaI’m framing a home for an owner builder. Him and I have a contract. I’m not a contractor myself, I had a guy help me (he’s not a contractor either) and I paid him for the first half of construction, he never came back for the second half and is now Threatening the threaten owner saying he’s going to put a lien on his property for non payment. This is in Arizona, is this valid? If the guy didn’t do the work there is nothing anyone owes him.
