You sue the contractor, no lien at all. The homeowner paid the contractor. You were not paid by him...your beef is with the contractor, NOT the homeowner.
You place the mechanics lien against the property where the work was done.
neither and neither......you can put it on the property...not a person....it expires in a year...some places the property can force you to take hin to court in 60 days...if you expect to get paid you have to sue...may as well just skip it and go to court.....here's a fun fact....you have the right to foreclose the property and force a sale....It is an enourmous pain.....same as if a lender didn't get paid...
I have a contractor that will not pay me for a project I completed for him. I was a subcontractor to the project and as I Said he will not pay. The question is do I put a lien on the contractor OR the property owner. It is my understanding that the property worked on is where the lien is to be placed.
