What are my risks, and what should I do

MarylandMechanics Lien

I am the Tenant and hired a GC for the construction works. I got his conditioned waiver, in which he stated that he had paid all subcontractors, and then I paid in full the final balance. 6 months later I just learned that he did not paid some money to a subcontractor, who is threatening me with a lien. What can I do?

The waiver should have included releases from the subs and suppliers. If not, the GC can be added as a third party to any claim by the subcontractor. Also, the subcontractor may be too late to assert a lien against the property, given the passage of 6 months.
