Yes, they can place a mechanic's lien on the property even if there is a dispute as to the amount owed. There is a legal mechanism to get the lien released wherein you have to serve the vendor a notice through the sheriff to either sue or the lien is vacated. It would be my suggestion to contact an attorney to make sure it is done correctly.
