Mechanic's lien - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

A security interest that may be acquired in property by someone who spends material or labor working on that property.� A mechanic's lien usually stays in effect until the lien holder gets paid for services provided.� The failure to pay for services as agreed may allow the lien holder to keep possession of the property involved.� Thus, an automobile mechanic may�be able to hold a car until its owner pays for repairs.�

A�mechanic's lien is not necessarily limited to mechanics.� To prevent confusion, other names may be used for the same concept (e.g., construction lien, laborer's lien, artisan's lien, supplier's lien, garageman's lien, materialman's lien, and design professional's lien).
