to be an all inclusive summary of California Construction Lien law.
8188. "Notice of cessation" means a written notice, signed
and verified by the owner or his agent, satisfying the notice requirements of Chapter 2, commencing with Section 8100, and containing all of the following:
a. The date on or about which labor ceased.
b. A statement that such cessation has continued
until the recordation of the notice.
For the purpose of this section, "owner" means
the owner who causes a building, improvement, or structure, to be constructed,
altered, or repaired (or his successor in interest at the date a notice
of cessation from labor is filed for record) whether the interest or estate
of such owner be in fee, as vendee under a contract of purchase, as lessee,
or other interest or estate less than the fee. Where such interest or estate
is held by two or more persons as joint tenants or tenants in common, any
one or more of the cotenants may be deemed to be the "owner" within the
meaning of this section. Any notice of cessation signed by less than all
of such cotenants shall recite the names and addresses of all such cotenants.
The notice of cessation shall be recorded
in the office of the county recorder of the county in which the site is
located and shall be effective only if there has been a continuous cessation
of labor for at least 30 days prior to such recording.
