Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Tenant Calls plummer without permission

Our tenant called a plummer on a Sat night without our permission.

The next day we handled the problem. The plummer is threatening to put a Mechanics Lean on our house. He did no actual work and was not authorized by us to come out.
