What Happened: A landlord and tenant hired a contractor to construct improvements on a leased movie theater. The subcontractor that installed the drywalls recorded a lien for the work and sought to foreclose when it didn’t get paid. The landlord asked the court to dismiss the claim under a state law prohibiting enforcement of liens against owners of property who record a lease banning such claims. The trial court sided with the landlord.
Ruling: The Florida appeals court reversed, finding that the subcontractor could foreclose.
