More facts than are given need to be known in order to answer this question adequately. If you have had the maintenance guy perform services for you, he can potentially get a lien on the property if he does not get paid. There are many ways to defeat such a lien, and you should consult with a local attorney about this.

Consult with a lawyer who handles "mechanics lien" law.
