I own a water restoration company and a home inspection company. For my home inspection company, would I be able to file a lien? Situation: Buyer goes under contract to purchase a home from a Seller. Said contract allows a home inspection. Buyer contracts with home inspector for services. Services are conducted but Buyer dodges payment to inspector.
In Florida, unless there is a written contract that provides otherwise, only persons who prepare improvements to real property or material suppliers may file liens under the Construction Lien Law (Part I of Ch. 713, Florida Statutes).
I did not see any provision for liens in the Home Inspection Law, Part XV of Ch. 468, Florida Statutes.
In this case the buyer is responsible for paying for the service, this is natural.
