Received "Notice to file lean" from a contractor. I had never heard of this contractor, certainly had not hired him.
Turns out, my contractor had hired him, without my knowledge to do some work.
There was a disagreement about the job between them and now I am in the middle of it.
Does the "Unknown" contractor have the right to file a lean ?
Thank you

OregonIs a notice of lien, Notice of procedure, and Consumer protection notice required to be sent to the owner of the property for any job that we do in the state of Oregon?
OregonI bought a used truck for my construction company on payments and did a lot of work on it. Now the previous owner refused to sign off on the title. Can I put a mechanics lean on the truck?
OregonPlease correct the lien documents
Please get it corrected, the lien is incorrect , the clean drop of water is my company, the lien should be against monogram homes
OregonBuilt a fence for a client he keeps having little issues with the construction and I'll give solutions and fix whatever he was unhappy with and then there's a new thing. I'm hesitant to keep throwing time and money at this project as he hasn't paid me and I sent his final invoice weeks ago. Can he legally not pay me simply because he doesn't think the work is good enough? What are my options here not sure what to do
OregonWe sold product to a customer in TX who defaulted on his payment. We filed a lien using the project property address. The property owner claims the lien would not hold up in court because the project was a leasehold improvement project and we should have filed the lien on the leaseholder. Is that correct?
OregonI am a subcontractor who complete a job in OR for a GC. I do not have a license in OR and now the GC does not want to pay me for work completed.
OregonWe have an issue with a guy who did work for our company. He is not an employee or a subcontractor. The best description would be day labor. Anyway, He is all upset and thinks he wasn't paid enough and has served the home owner an "Intent to Lien" paper. I have real doubts about the validity of this paper. I don't think it was filed with the court but on the chance it was we need some information. We have no idea what he's claiming beyond what he's said because only the home owner got the paper. The contract for the roof was between the customer and the company. It has nothing to do with the roofer himself. I guess my real question is can he do this? And what are the requirements if he can?
Thank You
OregonI'll try to keep it simple. My son and DIL, who live in CA, and with my influence, purchased an investment house in Portland, OR, 3 years ago - that I use as a part time residence. I reside in a nice basement ADU - which I completed during it's remodel, last year. I hired a one man contractor and paid him the first 2 payments progress payments and withheld the final payment. He did not complete the contract and missed his Nov. 2020 completion deadline - coming to (near) completion in July 2021. I put in the HVAC at my own cost, since he wouldn't. I paid other contractors to correct a few minor things. His contract specifically lists what was expected of him. His reason for missing his deadline was to take on more lucrative jobs (he admitted). I was texting him daily to see if he would show up! He cost me time, anguish, massive depression, and 7 months of lost rent - which was financially devastating!
He filed a mechanics lien on the house on Nov. 24th. I am not on the house title. This is about to become an issue as my son just began the process of doing a cash out refinance. The contractor has 120 days to file a lawsuit to perfect - I believe. I think I need to bond off - which is supposed to be costly (I have yet to look into it). My son has no knowledge of this contractor - but the court would declare me his agent by default. All my son knows is that I am doing improvements - as I have in the past - no specifics.
I think I have to be proactive and file a small claims lawsuit for the $10K court limit. His lien is for $21K.
Do you have any suggestions? Are there any other approaches? I emailed him a goodwill offer of settling for $8000, a few weeks ago.
Google can only get me so far - but at least small claims is familiar and has been a productive resource for me.
Thanks, all!
OregonWe are a Fire and Life Safety contractor, just starting to use Levelset to create Preliminary Notices, etc. and need clarification about what is counted as Start Date. Is it when any work is done on the job (clerical, engineering, or other) or is it at the job site?
For Last Date, does that include inspections or is it strictly the last day we are working on the install of the system, etc.?
Thank you.
OregonI am a subcontractor who worked on a two-level ADU. We were called in to complete the rough framing started by others. Began work on the 6th of October, 2021, and completed 10/29/21. We received 5 check payments. The last two were received on 12/20/21, and both were returned by the bank. Tried to talk with both the general and owner, but no payment results.
