Can I file a LIEN in Massachusetts without sending an intent before? Your website says that the intent of lien is not required by law, but I just want to make sure - an attorney said it is required. And what is the real due date to file a lien - 90 or 120 days?...Read More
I am an Owner of a 3 Unit Condo Association in Brighton Massachusetts. Our Association recently voted (2 out of 3 approval - which is Majority vote) for a Rodent Extermination Service. The payment for the Rodent Extermination Service was through a Special Assessment to all 3 Unit Owners. The Unit Owner who voted against the Extermination Service, withheld a portion ($133) of the Special Assessment dues in protest. Does this qualify to be able to file a Mechanics Lien for the outstanding dues?...Read More
We are in a circumstance with a GC who has not paid us. Upon information and belief the GC may be filing for bankruptcy protection. We have no contract with the GC. We have received NOTHING for this job. Outstanding is almost $14,000.
Notwithstanding we have no contract, we sent the homeowner and NOI. In response, the homeowner wants us to order the final Electrical Inspection. They are holding back enough money that they can pay us directly. However, do not want to release funds until after inspection.
We need to ensure we will get paid immediately after inspection, or have the right to place a mechanics lien.
We also belief they may have asked a non-licensed electrician to perform other work since we were last at the worksite. We were last there the end of February.
Again, we are a sub-contractor on this job. We should also consider the GC need be a party to the agreement. Among other things, we want to make sure we preserve any rights we may have against the GC.
Let me know if you handle this sort of thing, or can recommend someone.
