Just wondering if I am able to charge for any kind of fees? Can payment plans get late fees? Did we do a monthly fee or a percentage?
ConnecticutCan I file a mechanic lien on a contractor that did not do the work after I paid him 1000.00 to pick up the supplies he said he was going to go get that day.? This was a private home and I’m the owner.
ConnecticutWe have a contractor that is quite late in payment. He has asked me to give him until March to pay off his debt before filing a claim against the bond. The last piece of his equipment shipped in December so I believe I have until June to file a claim against the bond. Is there anyway between now and March that this customer can screw me out of getting money from the bond, if I grant him this extension? I just want to make sure that if I will still get my money from the bond as long as I file by June. If he goes bankrupt, do we lose access to the bond. Can he just cancel the bond and prevent me from getting paid?
ConnecticutContractor is pressuring me to make final payment.
ConnecticutWe are going to begin working on a $500,000 project in Toronto, Canada. Levelset is advising they don't support lien follow up in Canada at this time. Can anyone shed any light on the best way for us to protect our lien rights on this project in Canada? Is there a service you are using, or is there someway I might be able to "self-help" to complete Canadian paperwork myself to protect our lien rights?

ConnecticutI finished my work at the client's house somewhere on February 2022. I knew about some financial difficulties my client had by that time, and because it is a person I've known for the last few years I decided to wait. The total amount this person owns me right now is $10 000. The last check I received was on 9/6/2022, and since that I haven't received anything, only text messages promising payment. This person is not willing to pay even a small amount every month. Here is my question: can I file a lien as a private person? We never made any agreement, so in this case to I need some witnesses that I actually did my work on that house ( carpentry)? Is there any timeframe I should follow? I would appreciate your response. Thank you very much in advance.

ConnecticutAre custom made motorized shades and blinds lien able fixtures? They were adapted and modified to fit a particular space and permanently attached to the window. These fixtures (blinds and shades) are considered part of the house in real estate, not personal property. Thank you!
ConnecticutWe installed shades in a home. Real estate law says these are fixtures (real property). Client will claim they are personal property and we don't have right to file a lien. Who decides that and when is it decided?
