Builder was extravagant in building with no visible work done
IdahoWe're nearing the end of the timeframe on our lein. The homeowner made two payments in the last six months. One for $1,000 and one for $500. They owe another $7500 on this one. They've said they'll pay $3,000 today and would like to agree on a payment plan for the remaining balance. Anything beyond this month is out of our traditional lien rights and timeframe. What can I do to extend the lien and help maintain that level of protection? Should I accept the payment plan?
Idahocan an Idaho mechanics lien be extended more than once if the contractor has received more payments?
the lien was extended after a payment was received in February, the contractor continued to receive partial payments up through July then payments stopped and the lien extension expires next week. Can we extend again based on the July payment?
IdahoI'm the General Contractor working for a client who is acting as the Owner/Builder. Client is from
California and a past developer of Condominiums. The issue is the subcontractor working for me
has completed the foundation work. The work is not satisfactory to my client, and he represented
to me that Trustee and local attorney feel that the delays caused by the concrete contractor and the
sub-par work has caused them to balk on a $6677 payment.
The subcontractor and all the material suppliers have signed Conditional and some Unconditional
releases (over kill and mounting paperwork). The subcontractor in good faith signed the Conditional
and we thought payment was being made, but client came back and wanted Unconditional Releases
from this subcontractor now with no payment.
This has created the concrete people to start texting me threatening texts, inflammatory emails, etc.
I have requested the Client to put in writing WHY no payment, as well as if a "holdback" is warranted so the subcontractor can be paid what is not in dispute, to alleviate the threats, as I will probably give the Police
department a heads up on these texts.
Client says the Trustee and local attorney have the say, "and it's out of his hands". We were never
told there was a Trustee involved before we signed our contract. Who are we working for, or is this
a reuse? We told Client if this is not resolved immediately, and some sort of payment is not received
by this sub. We will not move forward in our contract and will not be onsite next Tuesday.
I feel this problem in the early stage of construction is not a good sign. Client borrowed $450,000 and to
date about $38,000 has been paid to the excavator and the concrete contract. Thx for your assistance.
forward on our contract to do the framing
IdahoIs it necessary to request an Unconditional right after the Conditional. Seems like a lot of additional paperwork. Is this something in the Idaho law to do this? My client is a California developer, and is afraid of getting stuck with a Lien after the fact? This is why I selected Zlien, as electronically is less paperwork. Thx wb
