Best Answer

You can seek a judgment and if successful the court will grant a lien. However, you will need to furnish proof to the court that the landlord agreed to pay you for the work and that he is in breach of that contract. Proof would be a written contract or witnesses that can testify to his promise to pay you. You would need to prove that you performed the work. Before and after photos would be helpful.
