The roof in Rosalyn's house springs a leak. She contracts with Shelter Roofing&Restoration Company to repair the roof and fix the dam¬age to the house. Rosalyn pays 10 percent of the price in advance. Shelter Roofing does the work, but Rosalyn refuses to pay the rest of the price. What can Shelter Roofing do, and how is it done?
Shelter Roofing can place a me¬chanic's lien on Rosalyn's house. State law governs mechanic's liens. Under that law, if a property owner in Rosalyn's situation does not pay what he or she owes, the house can be sold to satisfy the debt. The only requirements are that the lien be filed within a specific time from the time of the work, depending on the appli¬cable stat¬ute, which usually specifies 60 to 120 days. Notice of the fore¬clo¬sure and sale of the house must be given to Rosalyn in ad¬vance. The pro¬ceeds from the sale are used to pay the debt and the costs of the proceed¬ings, with any surplus paid to Rosalyn.
