I am a renter of a single family home, have done over $20,000.00 in improvements to property and want to make sure i get paid should i file a 20 day preliem?
Californiawhat if i was hired by the owner
FloridaWe needed to clarify whether the amount of the contract that we put on the preliminary notice is a binding amount, or whether it is just an estimate and the lien (if any needed to be filed) would be on the amount of the invoices in question.
MontanaIs there a NC preliminary notice of lien required when the contract is under 30,000? Also is there a lien notice required to be included NC roofing/construction contracts? If not is there a preliminary notice we can put in our NC contract that meets the criteria for the notice to the lien agent and or owner regardless of the amount, from day one of signing the contract?
North CarolinaWe find three scenarios that keep coming up.
1st when it is a single family home and we assume it is the owner. When when we file the Preliminary notice we find out that the person who signed the documents is not the owner.
2nd when there are multiple units but it is a condo type scenario and we think we are dealing with the owner of the property
3rd when the tenant called us out and we know we are working for the tenant or it is obvious it is an apartment complex.
If we have completed the Preliminary Notice with in the 20 days of starting the job and no one steps up to pay the bill can we file the mechanics lien and will it more than likely go through?
Thank you

ArizonaI am a GC wrking on the repair of a residential home
ArizonaWe sent our required 20 day prelim back when the job began with the estimate contract amount. Now that that amount has changed to I need to revise my prelim and if so does it also need to be resent?
CaliforniaWhen clients banks run reports our Notice shows up as a lien with us in 2nd position.
Banks won't proceed if they are not 2nd on the title.
Is there a way to give notice without being placed 2nd on the title?
WashingtonGeneral Contractor sending Arizona 20 Day Preliminary Lien Releases out to Residential Project Owner and Lender
ArizonaWe are subcontractors that typically enter into contracts with GC's to perform work. However, not all of our jobs have contracts with GC's. Can I still send out prelim notices for the jobs that do not have contracts?
CaliforniaI am a general contractor who conducted water damage restoration and pack out services to a home. This claim was paid through the home-owner's insurance and a pack out check was issued directly to the home owner as a 2 party check with his name and the public adjuster we hired. Homeowner cashed the check with out the public adjuster's authorization in December 27, 2019. Our company just found out about the situation and the homeowner refuses to pay us for the pack out services and used that money to remodel his house. Insurance companies usually take a while to issue checks for jobs done and once they're issued payment is required immediately. The pack out has been completed. However, the pack in was not completed since the owner KNEW he had the money and wasn't going to pay, he took all his belongings before hand. How do I go about the 20-day preliminary notice? Is it too late since payment was issued in December without our knowledge?
CaliforniaWe are a general contractor for a tenant performing work on their leased commercial property. Are we required to provide a preliminary notice?
TexasIn Florida many exempt entities purchase from us (vendor) directly to avoid sales tax. When selling directly to an owner (BOE, Hospital, Church, County) do we need to file a Notice to Owner or Notice of Furnishing to retain lien rights? How would lien/bond rights work in this situation. Would we still have any protection should we not be paid?
