Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of a mechanic's lien, which is a type of lien that allows contractors, like Pruit, to place a claim on real property they have improved until they are paid for their services. Pruit can assert a mechanic's lien on Quint's property due to non-payment for the roofing services he provided, and he has the right to foreclose on the lien by selling the property to satisfy the debt.
