Yes, a lien can be placed on a house by creditors to secure payment for debts owed. This typically occurs when a homeowner fails to pay bills, such as property taxes or mortgage payments, or in cases of unpaid contractor services. The lien gives the creditor a legal claim to the property, which may affect the homeowner's ability to sell or refinance the house until the debt is resolved.

A lien is a security interest in the property. A lien might arise from a loan. If you buy a car with the bank's money the bank will put a lien on the car. If you don't pay the bank back, it can foreclose on its lien and take the car from you. If you have a roofer add a new roof to your house, and you don't pay him, the laws allow the roofer to put a lien on your house. The roofer now has a stake in the house. If you don't pay off the lien your house can be forcibly put up for sale in order to satisfy the lien. I believe "property and tenets" translates into modern speak as "property and belongings".
