We are a subcontractor with a contract with a General Contractor. The Owner has a separate name from the General Contractor but they share the same address. Do we need to file an NTO?
FloridaI was recently given instructions to not create a prelim until given instruction to do so. My question is am I legally allowed to hold off on making said prelim? The sales order for this prelim was created in January and it is now March. Would there be any legal issues I'd run into holding off?
CaliforniaI've been informed to not make a prelim until our Project Manager gives me the okay on one job. The company we are working with on this job has requested an update for this prelim and requested an Unconditional Waiver already. Am I able to send a release even though I have not made a Prelim yet?
CaliforniaI receieved prelim information with 3 different lenders for one project. Do I need to file each prelim separately with each of the lenders listed?
CaliforniaThe city said they put a lien on my property and I have to pay $750 to have my water turned on because I stole water which is a lie and when I asked them for proof they didn't have any and never charged me with stealing water. What can I do who can I contact ? I need help to keep them from discriminating against me because they don't like me?
IllinoisOur customers don't pay on time, they pay when they want and I cannot sustain the company with ZERO funds.
CaliforniaMe and my neighbor shirt a sewer Main everytime it backs up it backs up into my house but it's from their products
NevadaI have several new construction jobs that have gone on longer than a couple of months since I first filed my preliminary notices and the scope of work has changed increasing the contract amount. At what point should I revise or reissue my preliminary notices in order to make sure the entire time period and scope of work is now covered? Thank you.
ArizonaDue to the extreme volatility of the current lumber market, some of our big jobs are being sold across multiple purchase orders to reflect changes in lumber prices.
For example, one of our current projects only has a firm price for the first building of the job. As the project continues into the other buildings, new purchase orders will be issued accordingly. This makes it difficult to determine the total estimated contract price.
Is this something to be concerned about as far as sending the notices with an estimated total contact amount?
GeorgiaWe are supplying underground materials for an entire residential subdivision. Would we need to send notice is this situation or would the project be considered more commercial since the work is not easily identified to one specific residential structure?
IndianaWe are a subcontractor supplying materials.
What's our exposure if our customer has a location in Fla, we contract to deliver material to cust. in Fla, & they then ship goods to their cust in IL?
How do we cover ourselves on this?
FloridaAs a material supplier, do I need to have a license in the state of Virginia to send a notice?

TennesseeHe is an architect, a design professional, with a contract directly with the client. He has been paid nothing. We know we have 90 days to file a lien. 89 days which would be Wednesday March 3. Do we need to file a preliminary notice or intent to file a lien prior to filing one. if so what are the deadlines we need to meet. The property is located in Bibb county Georgia
Thank you,
GeorgiaI am a general contractor that has completed a residential refresh on a house in preparation for sale. I have worked with this client on a variety of projects for the last 12 years and have never had a payment problem, so I didn't issue a preliminary notice. This project is more costly than she expected and she is balking on payment. What is the best route to secure payment?
