I've filed the lein against an apartment complex in Oct of 2021 and just found out they are trying to sell the property. What happens to my lein now?
FloridaMY FATHER HAS A LICENSE IN FLORIDA FOR MECHANICAL CONTRACTOR AND HES BEEN ELECTRICIAN IN CHICAGO FOR OVER 10YEARS, HE WANTS TO TRANSFER HIS ELECTRICAL LICENSE TO FLORIDA, IM READING ALL THIS STUFF HERE AND LOOKS LIKE HE CAN BUT I DONT SEE ANY APPLICATION HERE FOR HIM TO FILL OUT...WHEE DO I GET IT? HOW DOES HE APPLY?
FloridaA contractor required me to sign a blank NoC after a misleading description of it's purpose, changed pre-printed information, entered false information, illegally notarized, and filed with the county.
FloridaI'm a subcontractor in Florida. I send notices to owners when the property is residential. Should I also be sending them when the property is commercial? Also, is a notice of commencement the same as a notice to owner?
FloridaI am the tenant of a property that the owner and I have improved during my tenancy with the understanding that we would receive a discount in sales price when we purchase. There was no discussion about what would happen should we not be able to buy and due to the pandemic my credit score dropped and I do not qualify. He is being advised to only offer us or possibly an investor, the discount on appraised value. I have this in writing and several emails to this effect. Should we walk away he has only offered $2000. The value of the home is estimated on Zillow @ $400k.
I feel that the owner could pay me the 10% and walk away 'whole' as he planned, and that we have in essence a contract as there is a consideration and acceptance in writing. My position would be as a laborer and the work did not require permitting to my knowledge. I communicated directly with the owner on all work done and he picked or approved finishes and fixtures.
FloridaWe have been asked to sign a final lien waiver for 31 cents less than the $800K contract. It's nominal and we can write it off, but does that leave us open for anything legally? We do not want to have to process a change order for $.31.
FloridaI am a subcontractor I did a job almost a month ago and I haven’t received any payment this is the second time that I work for this contractor I know it takes 10 to 15 days for them to pay, but it’s almost a month and I haven’t received the payment.
FloridaWe had a mechanics lean we filed for $33,378.25 and recorded, then a partial payment was received $3,885.75. I had a partial release for the claim of lien for the amount of the payment, however the Amount of Lien Claiming remaining was entered as $29.00 and should have been $29,492.25.
We have contracted work to complete on this project. I need recommendations how this should be handled, do we amend the partial claim of lien?
FloridaWe are a small electrical contractor firm that works mostly for general contractors. We are trying to find out how much retainage a contractor can withhold on a public works project.
FloridaOn march 2 2022 we had meeting in the General Contractor Office to discuss change orders I have been placing over a contract for a commercial jobs, the discussion was very hard because I am notice they don't want to pay and they are doing everything in their power to avoid have to pay us, the job I did was HVAC, we physically finished working there around Octuber 2021, my question is if the meeting on March 2 2022 can be count by the law like the last job we did it in the project in order I have time to file lien over the property or need to be physical job only, I mean the meeting is not consider legally like the last job to count the time for mechanical lien. Let me know, thanks Roberto M Morales
FloridaOnce I file a contest of lien (which is fraudulent by the way) in the State of Florida and there was no response by the person placing the lien. Which happens to be my ex wife's boyfriend who is not a contractor or subcontractor and is claiming to have performed work on a property that was awarded to me in a divorce. The work he's claiming requires permits and a license to be performed. The 60 days has expired on my contest of lien. How do I get the lien removed.
FloridaAs the homeowner, I can't pay the general contractor without the NTO final releases per Florida Statute. Can the GC still lien me prior to providing these releases if they have not fully paid their subcontractors?
FloridaWe haven't started work yet, can I file my NTO early?
FloridaI finished the last job on April 5 2022, and they still own me money, I need to know what are the steps I need to follow to place a mechanical lien to the property, and also the futures steps and times to file a lawsuite to collect my money.
Note: the final mechanical inspection was on February 25, 2022, then I have to return on April 5 2022 to install two grills ( exhaust fan garage and bathroom gym, so I think the terms for the lien will begin on April 5 2022 because it was the last job I worked in that big house)
FloridaI had a large limb removed from a pecan tree that is growing over my house. The owner of the tree company and I had a verbal agreement that he would cut the limb down to firewood size and stack it for me. Half the contract price was paid and the other half due at completion. He did not complete the job and left a pile of logs in my yard. When I asked when he was planning to return the complete the work, he said it is done and for me to pay him now or he will file a lien on my house. Is removing a tree limb lienable in Florida?
