Hello! I am a subcontractor working under a contractor. I do not do construction work, but provide tree removal services. In order to get paid, I've been asked to provide a sworn statement (in MI) along with my other paperwork. I don't know how to fill it out? I had no subcontractors under me. Just my employees.

This is a residential project addition in Michigan. We are at final payment with the GC ($5175 remaining). The GC states he will provide a waiver of lien (he did not specifically state Unconditional Lean Waiver) and that all subcontractors have been paid. However, we (homeowner) have discovered some of the subcontractors have not yet been paid in full by the GC (know of 2, not sure if more). Does the GC Lean Waiver (or unconditional Leon waiver) protect the homeowner from one of these subcontractors Issuing a lien against our property? We requested copies of the sub lien waivers from the GC. The GC states that supplying those are not in the contract, and that he did not get lien waivers from everyone. He also states that it will cost the homeowner $100 per waiver if he provides them. What is the GC Legally liable to provide If requested and can he really charge the homeowner?...Read More
