This is in TN-I am dealing with a Owner that wants many Lien Waivers all of a sudden. I want to know the difference between an Interim Release and Waiver (is this a partial payment) and conditional final release. And is it correct that you do not sign a unconditional lien release until you have been paid in full. And can a subcontractor fill out same waiver as a Contractor. I can't find a simple TN subcontractor's lien waiver. I'm sorry but I am way overwhelmed over all of this-I am just not comfortable signing all of these.
TennesseeI filed a Lein and the property owner want me to sign a release with a name different than what was originally in the Lein. What are my next steps as the system won’t let me change it.?
Tennesseewhat supporting financial documents will Tennessee require for a BC-A/r?
TennesseeI am seeking solid terminology on when a retainage payment must be paid out. I have seen contradicting language and just looking for clarification. I have seen language stating "substantial completion of the project" and I have also seen language more specific to the specific work a subcontractor has completed. I am just looking to find which is correct and if we get paid once the overall job has substantial completion and or they receive the use and occupy permit or if once we complete our scope of work, we get paid.
TennesseeWe hired a contractor and the contractor, hired a gravel company to lay out gravel, their truck slipped and broke the pipe, neither of them will take liability for damages.
TennesseeI am a homeowner who hired a company to build a new deck with gable roof. Sent large deposit (50% of total cost). After 1 day of construction, almost nothing was built to code. I halted further work and requested a refund of deposit, minus his cost for materials and labor. He refused. How do I get a refund of unused deposit?
TennesseeWe used the app to set a lien. The owner of the property is going to release the lien, but wants release of lien to be signed by Michal Mann " So that it’s consistent with the original filing, we have set this up to be signed by Michael Mann, who filed the original lien instrument. " Is this possible?
TennesseeI am a GC building a house for a homeowner in Tennessee. The homeowner is dealing with theirconstruction lender directly, meaning I am not paid by the bank but by the homeowners and I have a cost plus contract with the homeowner. We are still on the job but the owners currently have an outstanding balance of $74,808.07 with us. The invoices are from February and March. The work to be completed within the next two weeks will be an additional $44,591.36. The homewoner says we are paid to date per their bank inspection percentage which is not true, and when we signed I was not informed of the banks payment process nor "percentages" since we are not billing the bank. The homewoners have added over $30k in change orders and in material cost increases which they have not informed their bank of. Alos, when they received the "notice to owner prior to commencing work" the owners owed us money (this is common with them), they immediately said "so since you're not finishing the job can we get someone to finish it." Keep in mind, we have never stopped working on their house even with them owing us massive amounts. I know when the owners receive the "Notice Of Intent" they will say the same thing. My question is, do I only file a lien for work completed which is the $74,808.07 or do I need to lien the full amount that will be completed within the next two weeks (electrical trim out, plumbing, cabinets and countertops)? I am worried the owners will try to close on their construction loan and my company will be stuck holding the bag for their house....
TennesseeMy contractor had a commercial electrical company pull a permit for my electric “ as a favor “ and he also pulled one as the homeowner. I have major codes issues and can I file chargers against both of them . I also found out he forged insurance to me and bank . Apparently didn’t have any
TennesseeI have a client that I've placed a lien on for the work we performed, he had that property for sale until the lien was placed, now he has taken it off the market to sell a different property. Can we place a lien on the for sale property for the work that was done at a different property?
TennesseeI had work done by a contractor who did very shoddy work and did not complete the job. He was paid in full up front with insurance check. He has filed a lien for non payment against me which was done out of spite and is not valid. I am in a desperate financial situation and had to sell my home or lose it. I was never given an "intent to lien notice", no change order form and nothing said about any extra money owed. He sent an email demanding money and when I refused he filed a lien. His workmanship cost me approximately $20,000 on the sale of my home. I need to get this bogus lien off my home before closing on 4/21/23 as I just can't afford to pay him anymore. Any help, information, etc. you can offer is greatly appreciated.
TennesseeA supplier showed up at our door (we had rock delivered) that our guy we had do work hasn’t paid, but we paid him (guy doing work) for the rock. No contracts. He threatened to file a lien on our property if we didn’t pay since he wasn’t getting payment from the man that ordered it, so we’ll have to pay twice now for the product? This work/product was delivered in august 2022. Any info appreciated
TennesseeI have some customers that old still wont pay. Need to know my recourse is
TennesseePeople owe money and are hard to get them to pay me
TennesseeA GC is telling us that a college in TN is a federal project which is why the retainage amount is 10%. They did send us information for a law showing Federal projects are allowed to have up to 10%, but the way it seemed worded was only if the work was not satisfactory. So now we are trying to understand how a college is a federal project and how we find out if by them holding the 10% instead of 5%, if they are stating our work is not satisfactory. They have told us everything looks good so far.
