The following steps are recommended. For a general contractor who has direct contract with the owner:
1. Send a complete final invoice, with the work specified and the amount mentioned for each item of work, give them a deadline to pay
2. Make sure you make note of the last day you worked on the project.
3. Within 90 days of the last day, record a mechanics lien, and serve it on the property owner as well as who contracted with you ( may be a tenant)
4. Within 90 days of the recording of the mechanics lien, a lawsuit must be filed to foreclose on the lien or the lien will be extinguished.
For a subcontractor who only has a direct contract with a general contractor, within 20 days of the START of the project, a preliminary notice of intent to lien should be served on the owner and the general contractor, then do all the steps above.
