Im a laborer who was hired by a contractor to do some framing work at a home. My car got repossessed right when i was about to finish the job so the contractor gave it to someone else to finish and told me I'll be paid for my work as soon as the framing job was complete by the new guy. Its been 5 days now and the contractor isn't picking up the phone and i fear he will not pay me. We have no written agreement but the home owner lives there and knows i did work on his house. Do you think that would be enough evidence to justify getting my pay for the work I've done while at the home? P.s. I was hired by a contractor who was hired by a general contractor who was hired by the home owner and I dont get paid till the contractor gets paid and the contractor dont get paid till the general contractor gets paid and the general contractor dont get paid till the framing job is complete. What do I do?
File a prelim on the job. Delivery it by hand to the homeowner and let them know you will file this with the county recorders office within 24hrs if you are not paid. If they don't pay you meaning the owner's then I would proceed to placing a lien on their house. Any labor or subcontractor have the rights to file a prelim. Hire someone if you are not sure how to on your own. I guarantee once you have the owner's sign the prelim you will get a check in 48hrs or less. #seriousaboutmymoney
Remember paper work always gets people to pay. For a fix and flip I would file a 20 day preliminary notice. But I'll will find out if the property is being financed by someone or a bank, or if the property is being managed by some type of management company and submit the prelim directly to them in person. If that's not possible then give it someone that can give it directly to them. Like an employee. When you file this you want to make sure it hits the top. This is a good reason to also know someone in mortgage industry so they can give you owner information.
Thank you so much for the helpful info.
Good info
