FAQ
Legally, an unpaid contractor, subcontractor or supplier can file a lien (sometimes called a mechanic's lien) that could eventually force the sale of your home in place of compensation.Conversely, if the contractor who worked on your project does not pay for materials, a supplier could place a lien on your property.
Contractors, subcontractors, laborers, and material suppliers can file what is called a "mechanics lien" on a homeowner's property if they don't get paid. Property owners need to be aware of the process so they can avoid financial and legal pitfalls.
First of all, you can sue your contractor for breach of contract, even without a written contract, and she can sue you as well.See Nolo's article, "Breach of Contract Cases in Small Claims Court," for more on this. However, an alleged oral contract does create difficult evidentiary questions for the judge.
A lien is essentially a claim for repayment of a debt. In the construction context, a lien is of considerable importance because it offers considerable power to a subcontractor to seek payment from an owner through the property itself for a debt owed to the subcontractor by a general contractor or other third party.
In Florida, an unlicensed contractor will not have the right to file a lien if licensure is required for the type of work performed. If no license was required for the type of work performed, then being unlicensed will not prevent a claimant from filing a valid lien.
Negotiate with the contractor who placed the lien (the "lienor" to remove it. Obtain a lien bond to discharge the lien, or. File a lawsuit to vacate the lien.
The simplest way to prevent liens and ensure that subcontractors and suppliers are paid is to pay with joint checks. This is when both parties endorse the check. Compare the contractor's materials or labor bill to the schedule of payments in your contract and the Preliminary Notices.
The people who can file mechanic's liens are identified by state law. A subcontractor or supplier to a subcontractor may not be able to file a lien. Also, unlicensed contractors are often barred from filing a mechanic's lien.
If a license is required for the work performed, an unlicensed contractor NOT ONLY cannot file a valid mechanics lien, but s/he also cannot file suit to recover, either. In California, unlicensed contractors are not entitled to be paid period for anything, and will be thrown out of court if they sue to get paid.
