在买房卖房坛也有楼主发的相同的帖。我还纳闷哪里怎么冷清。原来主贴在此。
把我的问题转贴到此。

I think your best defense to a mechanic's lien is having made payment in full to the general contractor or the person who has filed the lien. Are you sure if the general contractor filed the lien ? Could it be the subcontractor or supplier did that(looks the general contractor only received the labor fee) ? Who should pay the material fee to the supplier ? Everything should be spelled out in the contract if you have one.
As my lawyer told me to pay in full to the lawyer who registered the mechanic lien for the contractor.
There is no contract in our case. Your questions is suitable for big construction project. There is only one contractor in our case.
Anyway, mechanic lien is invalid as soon as the full amount is paid. Its purpose is to secure the payment. In fact, the contractor should notify me before registering mechanic lien, otherwise it's invalid already.

谢”天涯断肠人“的提醒,用中文发帖。回到Mechanic Lien的话题上来。现在还无法弄清事实,对错更说不清。
楼主说没签合同。我一直有个疑问。没有合同对方怎么能随便把欠债压到你的房子上呢?对方有什么证据证明楼主欠钱?难道安省的法律和别的地方不同,不要证据就可以把欠债加到房子上?
我一般找人装修房子,如数额不大,都是双方口头上的君子协定。做好出现最坏情况不打官司的准备。如数额教大,又是现金交易,你想保护自己,可要求对方开收据。如对方也想保护自己,收据上只写收到多少钱,并不说明税款。这种收据只作对方提供服务你付款的证明, 无其它。此收据用不到其它地方。有其它用途,事先最好讲好。随便聊聊。
I apologize that I don't have Chinese software and have to type in English.
If we are not in need to sell or refinance the house, we can challenge the Machenic lien in court due to no written contract, and also the Contractor failed to notify us before registering the lien, contesting the lien takes time. The lawyer helped the contractor filing the lien based on the contractor's oral statements, and notarized whatever the contract said are true.

坚持中文发帖。给自己加油。避免作对错判断,多问问题明白道理以避免以后犯同样的错误。
1. Tarus称:只要有经过公证的口头陈述表明楼主欠债就可以把债押到房子上。难道对方还有除合同以外的旁证吗?如果没有有力的证据,对方这样作的风险是什么?对方难道不怕输了官司要赔付楼主的律师费及其他损失吗?
Because he doesn't understand what's the mechanic claim.
2. 从楼主的多个回帖看,楼主想尽快了结此事。是为了破财消灾而不和对方计较对错(我想楼主有此倾向),还是什么地方被对方抓住了把柄而陷于被动? 难道说对方只要把Lien押到你的房子上(不管有没有理由),你就得举手投降?法律只保护一方? 有懂行给个说法。
It depends how much the lien is. But even the small amount of lien will bring down the homeowners the credit score. In the end, the homeowners will pay more for higher interesting rate.
For example, I could get the loan at 2.5% for 4 year fixing rate now, but I will get the higher rate like 9% if it will take long time to get rid of lien.
It's not worthy to take legal action for a few thousands dollar.
3. eHome Renovation 有没有对其他客户干同样的事? 有没有其他苦主啊?如果有,是有些可怕。
It's not just "eHome Renovation", as I heard that the white contractors with eight records of putting the mechanic lien to different properties couldn't find the job at all, I know there are many homeowners to complain the contractors and finally they are punished by the construction professionals.
4. 至今没看到对方的说法。对整个过程只有单方的解释。
If you spend a little time to google "mechanic lien", you will see the truth.
我承认不聪明。不思辨,不吸取教训,聪明不了。期待对此事件多方的陈述。
