The problem is the Contractor hasn't paid someone, such as if it were a roofer and he owes his supplier money for materials he purchased for the work done on your home. I've dealt with a similar situation, to where my business supplied labor to a janitorial company that provided service at a university. We were forced to file liens against the university in order to receive payment. Make sure that your contractor is in good standing with his suppliers. It's not offensive to a responsible contractor to ask questions as "Who is your supplier?".

Yes. If the contractor has performed work on the house, and has not been paid, he may file a lien. Even if you truly don't owe the contractor any money, he may still file a lien; eventually, he will have to prove its validity in court or the lien is released automatically.

Can a subcontractor for termite treatment on a Hollywood Florida home put a lien on the house when the contractor was paid in full but will not pay the subcontractor?
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.
Can a subcontractor hire another subcontractor and put a lien on property if second subcontractor is replaced even with a signed contract?
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.
What do you need to sue a contractor that put a lien on my home without finishing the job in illinois?
Did you pay the contractor? If not, he had the right to lien your property. If you want to sue the contractor, you need to be able to prove that he did not finish the job. For example, if he put an addition on your house and did not roof it, you need to show in the contract where it states the work included roofing the addition.

Can a general contractor put a lien on your house?
Yes. It is important to get original lien waivers each time you pay your contractor (do not give a check in exchange for a promise of a waiver). A waiver is a receipt of your payment and it is legal documentation that your contractor has paid the subcontractor or supplier. The waiver prevents the contractor and subcontractor from from liening your property for that amount of the payment on that subcontract. Partial lien waivers should detail the type of work done, the name and address of the subcontractor, the total amount of the subcontract, the amount paid to date, the amount of the current payment made, and the balance to be paid. At the end of the project, it is equally important to get final waivers of lien, as well.
