Re: Construction
You will probably need to take them to small claims, if you qualify. I'd have to research how the lien might work under these facts.

Ryan Bormaster practices this area of law. Mr. Bormaster indicates that you have the right to file a lien affidavit against the property and, possibly, foreclose, even though they do not own the property. If you would like, you may contact Mr. Bormaster's paralegal, Carrie Smith, by emailing her via "[email protected]". Ms. Smith can set you up with a free telephone consultation or office visit if you would like. For your information, the law allows for you to recover attorney's fees from the person or entity that breached your contract if you have retained one.

Depending upon when you completed the work, you may be in position to file an M&M Lien affidavit on the property and against the pharmacy. The owner of the property will make certain that the lien is cleared.
