Have a lawn care company saying my tenant owes him $205 and won't pay. Because of that, he's threatening to put a lien on my property unless I pay him. I'm of course trying to get the tenant to pay as my lease says he is responsible for the lawn.

2 questions...

1. Can he put a lien on my property?

2. If he can, should I just pay him, then post a 3 day eviction notice?

Never had this issue come up before 🤷‍♂️

It is highly probable that they can . its maintenance and its something required . It would be easier for you to pay the lawn company , then deduct it from the security deposit . And cancel the lawn service
