There is a building owner, a tenant and us (the GC). The building owner leased a space to the tenant, we built out the space for the tenant. The tenant did not pay. We asked Levelset to file the lien for us and they did. They filed a Constitutional Mechanics Lien, listing the property owner and the tenant. I am being told we cant lien the whole building since we did not have a contract with the owner but this is how they filed the lien. I have contacted Levelset about this and am getting nowhere. I have an attorney and he told me to contact them since they are the one who filed it. They are telling me to contact someone on this "Free Service" that can take up to 2-3 days for someone to get back to me. I don't really have 2-3 days as the property owner is trying to sell the building and has called contacted his lawyer to tell me to remove the invalid lien. I am at a loss as to what to do so trying to get someone to engage with me here I guess....
TexasOur company built onsite a garage for this customer that was paying down to qualify for our Rent to Own (where they can make monthly payments on the building and to qualify they needed to be below 10,000.00 this customer never made it to that and has not made a payment on the building since August 8,2021 then now refuses to sign up for the Rent to Own and pay us the balance in full.
TexasWe did a city job for a general contractor in October, November and December 2021 and never received payment for work that was done. Therefore, we pulled off the job December 2021.Surety and General Contractor denied my claim in January 2022 and in August 2022 for not enough information. When we ask what additional information is needed to suffice our claim we get no response from the Surety. What can we do ?
TexasIs the preliminary notice and notice of contractual retainage required near the start of a project in Texas? Are these the same document? I added a brand new job in Levelset and first billing for July, but it did not prompt me to send either of those by 8/15. What should I do?
TexasI filed a lien on a homeowner and they are withholding funds and I would like to know if it is possible to file a motion of discovery before our lien court date
TexasWe supplied a customer tanks and pumps, then we deliver diesel fuel into the tanks at their yard. The customers uses that diesel for their job sites. The diesel is consumed at the job sites not at the yard where the diesel is delivered to. The customer has past due invoices and have not paid. Are we allowed to file a lien on the customers yard where the diesel is delivered but not consumed.?
TexasIf we ask for a change that generates a change order, our contractor is charging his 15% on the cost of the job AND sales tax. If the job is 1000.00 and sales tax is 80 the contractor charges us his 15% on 1080. I understand we have to pay sales tax but it doesn't seem right that the contractor profits from sales tax that we are paying.
TexasLazer Energy delivered diesel fuel to a customer (CST) back from 12/14/21 to 2/15/22. They owe $26,823.06. Lazer Energy filed a lien on the property, but the lien was filed too late. We need an attorney to represent us in court.
TexasWe are a third tier supplier on a project in Texas (G.C. - Sub-Contractor - Supplier) that hasn't been paid since our product was delivered and invoiced in January, 2022. We were unaware of the required notices until now. Is there still a way for us to file a lien? We are located in New Jersey, the project was in Texas Thank you,
TexasI am working on several Tractor Supply. Some are stand-alones. I am pretty sure that they are still only leasing these spaces, but I am ofc, not 100% sure. Am I safer to put Tenant while I am linking customers fromQB?
TexasI work for a GC & we have a Subcontractor Affidavit form; don't know where it came from, who created it or if it's a valid document we can use.
We require the Subcontractor to provide a supplier list & traditional conditional/unconditional, progress/final waivers for both the Suppliers and Subcontractor. There are some cases where the supplier did not perform work for the month and refuse to sign $0 conditional waiver. This is where the affidavit comes in. It gives the Subcontractor the opportunity to bypass the supplier and sign the waiver themselves.
There are also different versions of this form; (A) the supplier not been used for the month (B) the supplier needs to be taken off their list of suppliers because they have not & will not work on the project or (C) do not have any suppliers associated to this project.
All of them state the following: project name, number, and address, Subcontractor name & type of work; we require that it be signed & notarized. It's also important to note, these affidavits are NOT included in the contract like our waivers are.
TexasCommercial private job with a $10K down payment before any labor, how would we handle a monthly notice?

TexasWe did a job last month, finished and haven't got paid yet. The contract has been signed by 1 of the homeowners, not both. Also the completion stating that the job was done has his signature, as he is married but the contract was with one of the homeowners can we file the lien anyways?
