depends on your state, but usually mechanics liens are for private citizens, you need to file a claim against a City entity (call them get a form), then if they reject/deny your claim you have to file a law suit. If you are a contractor its a particular form and you have to file to enforce it (i.e. they owe you money for a job you performed). What's your beef?
There are cetain civil codes and code of civil procedure youn need to follow, you can go to a law library, or ask for legal help on line.
Probably not ... but you can initiate a lawsuit against them. Or if the amount is under the limits for your region, you can take them to small claims court.
File a Mechanic's lien (the form is available on the web) with the County Recorder against the property where you performed the work. The developer will not get paid by the owner of the property until all liens have been released. However, you had to have served a Preliminary Notice for the work you were going to perform on the General Contractor to be able to file a lien against the property.
The owner cannot mortgage or sell the property until the lien is paid.
No, you cannot file against the contractor if you carry a ghost policy as a sub. The only way to file against the contractor is via a worker's compensation claim.
No. You, (The new owner) was not a party to the contract between the previous homeowner and the trade contractor. The contractor has no obligation to a subsequent owner with whom he did not contract or make warranty. It's no different than when you buy a used car. You would have no recourse for work you might consider substandard against a mechanic that did repairs for the previous owner because you did not own the property at that time and were not a party to the repair agreement. Hopefully you purchased a home warranty through your realtor when you purchased the home they are very inexpensive. Your recourse would be to file a claim on the home warranty offered to you when you made your home purchase.
Once the owner has sold the property it's too late for you to file any lien against that property.
Yes, a company can file a mechanics lien against property if the builder of the barn owes them money. This can be a nightmare. To get rid of the lien, a property owner might have to pay the lien holder and then sue the builder for return of funds. This tactic is not fair to the property owner because, if the builder was already paid for the barn, the property owner now has to pay double.
he goes to the court house pay's $50. and puts a lean against the property * Generally the contractor will file a mechanic's lien against the property. The procedure for filing the action is governed by state law and therefore differs greatly from state to state. The basics however are the same, the contractor sends notice to the property owner and to all other parties involved in the construction project and then drafts and files the required legal documents at the office of the city or county recorder of deeds in the city or county where the property is located.
A lien against bank owned property would not be effective unless the lien was against the bank. If you have a lien against the former owner your opportunity to try to enforce it has passed.
Yes.
Yes and no. The contractor can file a lien against your house for non-payment. Even if you honestly don't owe the contractor any money, he may still lien your house; he will eventually have to prove the lien's validity in court or it is automatically released. No lien can be filed against your car. However, if the contractor gets a judgment against you, that judgment may be executed against your car and home to secure payment.
Yes You can file a UCC-1 Statement for property
In this case, apparently, the bank is the owner. So yes, the HOA can file the lien against the bank's ownership of this unit.
