Yes. You should have requested a release signed by each sub before you paid the builder.
It's a system that sucks, but as a sub it's the only thing we can do to get paid.
A subcontractor can hire another subcontractor but can only put a lien on the property if the original subcontractor isn't paid. The lien can also be placed if the second subcontractor was not paid because of the original subcontractor was not paid. The replacement of the second subcontractor is not grounds for a lien.
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.
You can put 'a lien' on a home in The Bahamas.
Generally, if the title to your property was free and clear of any lien by the subcontractor when your deed was recorded then it's too late for the subcontractor to record a lien now. The subcontractor would need to sue the builder in a separate court proceeding in order to get paid. If there WAS a lien recorded by the subcontractor prior to the sale it should have been paid from the proceeds at the closing. Payment of any outstanding liens would be your attorney's responsibility. If the subcontractor contacts you for payment refer them to the attorney who represented you in the purchase. In Pennsylvania there is a new law that allows subs to file liens against your property even after you have closed and received free/clear title. Look into it if you're buying in PA.

I can only assume you are asking how can someone put a lien on a home in Canada? The owner of the home would have to owe you or the government a lot of money before you could put a lien on their home and even if it was a private affair I'm not 100% sure a private party can put a lien on someone's home. It's usually banks and or money owed to governments who put liens on a persons home.
