How do you file a personal lien in Ohio?
Some people will have you believe that Ohio Mechanic's liens are relatively easy to do. The answer is that they really aren't that easy. They are far more complex than merely "filling out a form." The statute, ORC 1311.01 has separate sections for private "commercial" projects, public projects, residential projects and oil and gas wells. In addition, there are hundreds of court opinions interpreting the statute, some of which conflict from county to county. Assuming that the project was not residential, gas and oil or public and there is no enforceable prohibition from filing a lien in the contract, the procedure is as follows:
- Before you start work on the project, obtain the Notice of Commencement, if one was filed and serve your notice of furnishing on all required parties (this will be the project "owner" if you are not an original contractor and if you are a subcontractor or supplier not in direct contract with the original contractor, you will also have to serve the original contractor).
- Within 75 days of your last work on the project (be careful if you are considering punchlist as your last day of work, because there are some prohibitions to consider) (60 days on a "residential" project--subject to a possible paid in full defense, 120 days on a public project or oil and gas well) file your affidavit for lien with the county recorder or recorders (if the project crossed county lines, yes some actually do) for the county or counties where the project is located.
- Within 30 days after you filed the lien, serve it on the project owner (for example, this could be the property owner or a lessee) (this is important and forgotten by people who don't regularly file Ohio mechanic's liens--forgetting to do this will make your lien void)
- Hopefully, you will be paid what you are owed and you will have to release or satisfy the lien.
- If you don't get paid, your lien will last until the 6th anniversary of the date you filed it. If you haven't filed a lawsuit to foreclose the lien by then, it will expire. Ohio mechanic's liens cannot be renewed or revived.
Mechanic's liens really are very technical and even the smallest defect can cost you the lien. If you need to file a mechanic's lien in Ohio (or any state for that matter) please contact a construction lawyer who understands mechanic's liens. For more information, check my website, I have several articles and videos about your mechanic's lien right.

Can I claim adverse possession when the possession is through my tenant and I am acting as landlord?
I would say generally, no. Most statutes require "actual" rather than "constructive" possession. You may want to re-submit with your specific state in the question.
In California, it turns out, possession may be through your tenant. We just won our case and gained title through adverse possession where our tenant has occupied the property for the past 10 years. Case law establishes that occupancy by a tenant of the "adverse possessor" has the same legal force and effect as the occupancy by the person claiming by adverse possession. Kellogg v. Huffman (1934) 137 Cal. App. 278,284.
Congratulations! As I indicated, statutes are state specific. While you are on the "left" coast, I am on the "right" coast where things tend to be interpreted more conservatively. Thank you for the updated response.

How do you write a letter to prevent adverse possession?
In most states, adverse possession has five elements. The possession must be: 1. Open and notorious 2. Actual and uninterrupted 3. Exclusive 4. Hostile and under a claim of right 5. For a period of 10 years. I would simply interrupt the possession, by putting something like a park bench on the property, use the bench, and do so openly. This would bar the second, third, and likely fourth prong of adverse possession. You are free to write a certified letter to the other party stating this, but you don't have to--the claimant of adverse possession has to prove all five elements to get quite title. Consult with a real estate attorney in your area if you have concerns about your particular situation.

Can you move into an abandoned home and claim adverse possession?
Depends on the situation.
Some states allow you to pay the taxes on abandoned properties for up to five years, and in in some states it's up to 7 years, if and when you have occupied the property and have actually been paying the taxes and it hasn't been claimed by anybody else.
But, just because you decided to become a squatter and have not done anything legally, such as paying the taxes for the property, does not give you the right to claim a property as your own.
Check with your state's laws.
