I hired a general contractor in late Sept and my project (job) started in Oct. I have made several payments to the general contractor as the job progressed for all the sub contractors work and he has not paid the sub contractors. I have been in conversation with the electrical sub contractor and he wants to put a lien on my property to light a fire under the general contractor. I understand what the lien means for me as the property owner but can not find info on what that means for the general contractor....(My contractor stopped communicating with me and will not answer me for the past 4 weeks.....his work has been less then professional and my contracted job is not complete with zero communication. I am just curious as to what will happen to the general contractor if a lien is placed by a sub contractor on my project
MinnesotaIf a job is bonded in the State of MN is a prelimary notice still required 45 days from first labor?
MinnesotaWe painted a house and was not paid. Is it worth the expense to foreclose or should we just let the lien sit on the property until they sell. It was only for 9k
MinnesotaLien has been filed; order #5825027. No settlement made to-date. Once lien expires after 12mo & if client sells home in future, will it still show on record that she had a lien previously placed on the property?
MinnesotaWe applied for a lien through your website, uncertain of what was included and now we no longer need it. can we get reimbursed?
MinnesotaI performed the labor for another contractor who is now not answering his phone. I do not have a contract with him on these 6 homes we roofed. Labor only no material. Do I have lien rights?
MinnesotaI had a lien filed against a property I own by a sub who was not paid by the contractor I hired and I paid contractor in full. Now the dub has filed paperwork against the property as he hasn’t been paid. What can I do?
MinnesotaWe are a contractor and I finished the job in Minnesota on August 12, 2021. I am coming close to my 120 days and I would like to file a lien against the property we remodeled. We did not send a preliminary notice at the beginning of the job. We have done several jobs with this customer and never had a problem in the past and did not feel it necessary. However now we are unable to collect our money on the project. Am I still able to file a lien?
MinnesotaHired by contractor to the progress of work being done by a sub-contractor who was eventually let go. From that point on I was to prepare reports on the contractors project status and definiens in the work for a potential law suit. Reports were prepared and photos taken to substantiate the claims. Four binders w/ professional reports and more then 1500 photos were included in exhibits.
I am an architect in MN looking for a way to collect for services provided.
Lien waivers were required to accompany invoices to receive payment.
Minnesotai worked for a painting company for 28 yrs when we worked on prevailing wage jobs he paid me the cash part but he said he had the right to keep the benefit side because he pays for my vacation, he didnt pay for my health or 401 in any way i've sat down and figured it out over 28 yrs it adds up to about 325,000 dollar and now i'm at retirement and i have nothing
MinnesotaI am a subcontractor and we filed a pre lien notice on a job. We completed a dig/backfill so I entered the start and end date. Now the contractor came back and wants us to put in the septic system as well. What do I need to do if I entered an end date for the job if we are not done now?
MinnesotaPlumber did some rough in work on my house in 2019. Did not return. Finished the job myself, meaning I installed my own toilets and sinks. Now he claims I owe him a staggering amount. Out of line. He has piled up a fee from another job on my (finally) an invoice. I requested invoices along the way so I could pay him then too. Nothing. No contract. Now he threatens a lien. What do I do?
Thank you.
MinnesotaWe have a customer who is a subcontractor with a new job. We know that this customer borrowed significant amounts of materials we supplied to another job for this new job. We have been fully paid on the old job. Does knowing this fact change anything about how we prepare for the preliminary notice on the new job?
MinnesotaWe are a Levelset subscriber. We have contracted with MN United FC a professional soccer team who is a tenant (not the owner) in a facility owned by MN United National Sports Center.
Basically we are doing a tenant improvement to the soccer field making it more playable for the professional soccer team. Are we then considered the Prime Contractor and required to provide a General Contractor's Notice since we are not working for a GC? Or, because we are not working directly for the owner, should we provide a Lien Claimant's notice as if we were working for a GC?
Thanks!

MinnesotaI am in the process of building a house on a lake and the neighbors keep complaining because they don’t like change or are jealous. Once the complaint hits the county, the county immediately places a stop work order without visiting the site going off the neighbors “photos.” We have literally done nothing wrong, have resolved 2 of the stop work orders by just having the county coming out to the site and now we’re dealing with a 3rd. These have all happened in the last 2 weeks. Is there any legal action we can take because it’s cost us thousands of dollars to have workers on site and then we call for an inspection and realize there’s a stop work order.
