I'm a sub contractor and we have a contractor withholding payments from September and October of this year. He is claiming for non-performance, but the work that was in those pay apps is completed. In addition, there are material charges for material and equipment that is on the site and installed. I received confirmation that the contractor has been paid through 10/31/2022. My understanding of the prompt payment act is that the contractor can withhold payment for unsatisfactorily performed work, but how far back does that go? Since our pay apps were approved for the months of September and October, isn't he required by law to pay us for the approved amounts? He has not provided any information that our pay apps were fully or partially denied, even though I have asked repeatedly. He continues to claim that we are not manning the job to his satisfaction, which is his opinion. He has not given us a substantial completion date. He continues with empty threats that the owner is unhappy but continues to provide any actual documentation proving this fact. Should I move forward with an intent to lien at this point? ...Read More
