Single Family Home in NY, Sentricon Termite bate system was installed by last owner with 1 year contract, Contract states that the bait system remains the property of Sentricon.
The house is sold 3 months later, New owner never signed any contract with the pest control company.
9 months after sale the Pest control company asks for renewal fee for the contract or removal of the bait system. The new owner does not allow them on the property to remove the bait system and refuses to renew a contract that was not signed by him.
Can the pest control company put a lien on this house now?
New YorkI own my own consulting company and worked as owner's rep and later Project Manager for the same companies for three years. I originally worked for the owner of several commercial buildings and then was transferred to work for a related construction company that was run by an investor in the buildings and we worked only on the buildings owned by this same company.
At the end of my work, they asked me to accept partial pay as they were experiencing cash flow issues. I agreed, but when I told them that I could not continue to defer my pay, they terminated me. I have been talking to them weekly for almost 90 days and have several promises to pay my back pay but only one token payment. I now think that I need to file a lien to collect my pay but do not know if I fit into one of the two exemptions for notice of intent to file lien. Since I am only one employee, can I qualify as a laborer or does my job description prevent this? I only have 3 days to file the lien.
FloridaI was hired by a property mngt company that I have worked for for over three years, we have an ongoing contract for services that names me as an authorized vendor. I started the job 8-14-17, emailed a notice to owner 11-20-17 and completed the job 10-6-17, sent a notice of intent 11-28-17.
The property mngt company is claiming they are agent for owner, I have not had any contact with property owner, mngt company will not provide contact information for owner.
WashingtonWe are an equipment rental company. What are our lien rights when we are renting to a customer that is then renting our equipment to someone else? Are we able to secure lien rights and be protected?
California5C is currently supplying one to five material hauling trucks to a local concrete company. We are picking up sand and rock for the concrete company and delivering it to their plant for use in their concrete mixes.
We began providing the services 5/15/17 and have done so most everyday since. I would say there hasn't been more than 2-3 days break in the work at a time. Does that have an impact on the "start date" of the project? If we are eligible to file a Mechanics Lien is it too late to submit the 20 day _preliminary notice? I understand that it would only grant us back through the beginning of November.
Thank you!

ColoradoWe are a Flood dryout company who went to Houston after Hurricane Harvey, our work consisted of - extracting water, removing flooring, walls, furniture, appliances and remaining contents for home owners who filed insurance claims. We would like to protect our position to get paid. I want to know what we have to do, and if still have time?
TexasI feel like we are correct in beginning the lien process - started the NTO's - (We were hired directly by an Owner's Designee to negotiate the telecom agreements at existing properties - no building permits) but I have some concern that our client may lash out and make it difficult/expensive for us by suing us for incorrectly filing a lien or slandering them to their lenders by falsely claiming we made an egregious claim. Need some support here!
FloridaWe paid a contractor $24K to build a garage. We paid in full to get a 5% discount. The contractor has since filed bankruptcy and now i want to know if the subcontractors/suppliers he hired can come after me for more money.
KansasWe are a material supplier of aggregates and ready mix. We have a customer that provided us with an incorrect address when they placed an aggregate order. Our delivery driver did not notice when delivered as the properties are next to each other. We believe our customer may have done this on purpose. What are our lien rights in these circumstances?
WashingtonWe provided material and labor (Tile & Flooring material and install) To Homeowner on new construction Job, we were not paid in full, homeowner going after CO next week, It was my understanding that all Liens had to be closed out prior to issue of CO
FloridaI started the work as an employee of a structural engineering company, when I left the owner's representative asked me to complete the project. the structural engineering firm is now refusing to pay me.
CaliforniaWe filed a lien. Then filed an extension. It is expiring in a couple of days. What are our options?
We have other work we have done and unpaid. Can we file another?
CaliforniaOur company provided labor as a subcontractor to a primary contractor for a residential homeowner. The contractor is more than 30 days past due on their payment to us. It is not our customary practice to send preliminary lien notices to homeowners so we missed the 20 day window to submit one to the homeowner. What recourse do we have in recording a lien for the unpaid invoice?
CaliforniaCurrently we have a project that is at 95% complete, due to some issues we have been notified that we will not be finishing the project and another general contractor has been hired to finish the last 5%. we have only been paid to approx 75% completion and the balance owed to us just for the last bit of work. Currently we are owed 11500. just for the work that was done. Can we now proceed to file a lien because they won't pay us or do we need to invoice them and have it rejected? I notice the law uses the term at completion but technically the job isn't complete yet and we won't be completing it so can we not file until the other contractor completes the project. Just looking for guidance so when we do file the lien its in the proper order of operations and at the correct junctures of the project.
Thanks!
