Not likely. There is no privity of contract between the homeowner and the subcontractor. The homeowner had an agreement with the general contractor, and that's the only person they have a duty to pay. The subcontractor can only pursue payment from the general contractor - to put a lien on the home would be to punish an innocent party - the homeowner. This is between the subcontractor and the general contractor, and there's no reason to bring the homeowner into this, since the homeowner doesn't owe the subcontractor anything.
No, not unless the HO was negligable. The contractor should have insurance for his ow protection. But then again, we are a sue happy liberal society
"Don't do it, because if you screw up they can sew you for all your worth. My advice is get licesened then if you screw up you have insurance for a reason." Wrong, an unlicensed contractor in California has no standing to sue, however, a homeowner may sue the unlicensed contractor and recover any money paid even if they are and were aware of the state of the contractor's license prior to contracting.
When the general contractor makes a threat to a homeowner, about selling all the homeowners personal property, that the contractors have in storage. And the contractor has not finished the repairs on the homeowner's house. Can the contractor sell their property?

Yes--for any reason. The most common is breach of contract (non payment). Anyone facing a contractor's lawsuit should see an attorney ASAP to prevent any legal problems, especially foreclosure of your home (if the contractor is suing for non payment). And if you win the lawsuit, the contractor will likely have to pay your attorney's fees.
You can sue the state of Indiana for breach of privacy depending on the circumstances of the breach. For example, if you had a contract with a specific state agency that guaranteed you privacy and this contract was broken, then you could sue for breach of privacy.
The matter has to go to court. A homeowner cannot do it directly.
Chublets!
Yes, you can sue a company for breach of contract if they fail to fulfill their obligations as outlined in the contract.
