We're a staffing company, and are in a situation in NC where we're considering filing a lien on a project, and are now realizing that we originally sent our prelim notice to an address that is incorrect. Our customer gave us the address of a parking lot, which is where the employees met up for work, but the work was done at a different location down the street. Is our prelim invalid, and therefore we have no lien rights? What recourse do we have?

CaliforniaI have a contractor who threatened to place a lien on my property due to non final payment.
Contractor finally completed the project in which I was promised in writing it would take one month to complete (contractor was 5 months late). Contractor also stated in writing he would deduct $100 per day for every day he was late in completing the project. I received the final bill and the $100 per day deduction was not included. I explained that to the contractor I was not going to pay the billed amount without the $100 per day deductions; however, contractor is disputing the claim and is now threatened to put a lien on my house.
Can this contractor place a lien on my house for the billed amount/non final payment?

MichiganI am a Home Inspector in Albuquerque NM. I performed an inspection as requested and scheduled by the prospective buyer and buyer's agent of a detached single family dwelling.
During the inspection I was informed that the property owner is responsible for payment. My policy is to be paid at or before the inspection as is stated in my confirmation/quote sent out prior to the inspection date.
I contacted the seller's agent after the inspection and made this policy clear and sent the agent (at his request) an invoice for payment.
As you may know, the State of New Mexico is currently devising a licensing system for Home Inspectors. I am in compliance with all current state requirements but do not have as yet a state issued Home Inspector License since such a document is not yet available in New Mexico. I do have a Small Business License issued by the City of Albuquerque.
Can I file a mechanic's lien if payment is not made in a timely manner?

North CarolinaWe are in the Property Restoration - Emergency Response Industry providing an array of services including but not limited to Water Mitigation.
While the industry description of Water Mitigation Services can include properly cleaning, sanitizing, drying, repairing, and restoring a property to pre-water damage condition, many of our Mitigation jobs do not include restoration or repair. We generally invoice our repair services separately under a Structure Repair job invoice/ID.
Our question is, for our California branches, are our Mitigation (cleaning, sanitizing, drying) balances eligible for the filing of a lien. We have been advised that these services/balances are ineligible because there are no materials provided that contribute to the repair of the property.
Thank you for your assistance.
