Can we place a lien on our contractor's property for unpaid deposit?
We contracted to remodel our condo located in Florida. This was executed in November of 2007. As of January of 2008 the contractor acknowledged that he was unable to do this work due to financial and other business restraints. As of April of 2008 we have not received our deposit of $8,338.00. Can we, as individuals, place a lien on his building/equipment?
If so, how? We have already registered a complaint with the Chamber of Commerce and Florida Business and Professional regulations.
Can a subcontractor file a lien without involving the homeowner?
I am a home owner having my house renovated. One of the subcontractors served me with a 90-day subcontractors notice stating that the general contractor had not paid him. I didn't know he was a subcontractor, and the general's defense is that no work was rendered. The general and the sub have a separate contract. Is there anyway for the general and the sub to litigate their dispute without involving me? Right now, the sub's 90-day notice seems to indicate that he will file a lien shortly, and the general is demanding that the sub initiate foreclosure on my home so that the case can be heard and dismissed since, according to the general, the sub didn't provide work and the sub didn't notify me that he was, in fact, a sub as the Act requires. As a first time homeowner, thoughts of liens and foreclosures concern me, especially when it appears to be a private dispute between the general and sub. Can foreclosure be initiated? Can I lose my house because of this private disptue between the general and subcontractor? Or, is foreclosure the way that liens are enforced?
