Currently there is no lien, but a mechanics lien has been threatened. Here's the story:
I was supposed to get some flooring work done on my rental property. My tenant agreed to pay half. Great. We signed an agreement.
So the tenant went with a company, I agreed, tenant paid the company. In turn I will forgive three months rent. All good so far.
Company was supposed to come thursday, they did not. They came friday but not till 1pm, two guys worked two hours. They tore up the downstairs carpet and kitchen linoleum, then left at 3pm. Apparently while they were there they were a bit rude, and then stated they would come back monday. My tenant found this to be unacceptable since they had agreed to complete the job thursday and friday. Now my tenant would have to keep all his stuff in the garage for the weekend???
So I spoke to the flooring guy, he begrudgingly agreed to come saturday between 8-9 and finish monday. My tenant begrudgingly agreed.
Saturday comes, 10pm and no flooring guy. Tenant tells me NO to this company. I agree. I text the flooring guy. He is pissed and threatens a mechanics lien and to file a police report for stolen goods (they had dropped off about 20 boxes of flooring friday).
I reply and state that I will return all of the flooring to him and pay for his services to this point.
His reply.........called my tenants racist stating they dont want a black man working for them.
So here we are. I have filed a police report myself already showing the text exchange that I am will to take back the product and pay for the work done. Just felt like getting a jump on that.
I also sent another message to their facebook page with the same offer. No reply to this point.
Any advice on any of this so far? I do not want these people coming to my property to retrieve the flooring. Is it prudent to take it to their store and document with photos or whatever?
How do I pay him? Do I have him sign an agreement to not place a lien once payment is made.
This all seems super dumb. This guy sucks. Turns out he does suck. Even the officer I filed with said he had a bad experience with this company. Lovely.
TIA
