Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Placing a lein on a personal residence

I have a corporate tenant who defaulted on a commercial lease. One of the officers of the company signed a surety agreement in case of default. Can I place a lein on this person's personal residence? If so, how do I do this? Do I need to get a judgement first?

Thank you

Re: Placing a lein on a personal residence

You will have to file a legal action to obtain a judgment. The lease must be reviewed. If I can assist you in any way let me know. Please realize that a judgment against a officer that is married is not a lien against property that is owned as husband and wife or tenants by entirities. Gerald Hershenson Esq. 215-579-9390
