Lien placed on homeowner property because GC not paying subs.

South DakotaLien ReleasesMechanics Lien

Hello, I am a property owner in South Dakota. It has been 9 months since I paid a 50 % down payment to the general contractor to get a bedroom/ bathroom remodel done. The first crew of subcontractors walked off the job in October 2021 after multiple delays, disputes and stoppages. The GC hired a second subcontractor crew to complete the job. I paid an additional 25% to GC at that time. Today, March 2022 there is still final finish work, some electrical and light installations and all of the plumbing fixtures to be installed. Today the replacement subcontractor informs me he has not been paid for several weeks of work by the GC and is filing a lien against my property. What are your recommended next steps? Thank you.

What ended up happening in your situation? I am a sub contractor, who has not been paid by the General Contractor. I do not want to put a lien on the homeowners new home. They are very good people. But I also would like to get paid and need this money.
