What Happened: A restaurant tenant hired a contractor to install kitchen equipment in its leased space. The tenant paid only $60,000 of the contractor’s $274,000 bill. So, the contractor placed a lien on the space to secure the balance. And since the tenant had since been evicted, the contractor named the landlord as owner of the property and went to court to foreclose. The court ruled that the lien applied only to the tenant and didn’t attach to the property. So, the contractor appealed.
