Legal Question in Business Law in California

No.

You are referring to a mechanic's lien. That applies to works of improvement, or delivery of goods and services to be used in a work of improvement. Delivery of furniture is not a work of improvement under the mechanic's lien laws. Even if you sue, you could not get a lien on the landlord's property, as the landlord is not at fault.

No, in order to place a lien based on this kind of claim, you must first file, serve and win a lawsuit to establish the validity of your claim against any defenses the defendant might have. Once you have a judgment, you can file (record) an abstract of judgment, which becomes a lien against any real property the judgment debtor has in the county or counties where you have recorded yoir abstract of judgment.
