Let the owner know of your intention to lien. Also inform him of the liens negative effect on any title search by potential buyers. Then put the lien on in short order. The amount of time you have to place a lien varies by state. In NY it's 90 days after last work performed, right over the line in CT, I only have 60 days. Don't let them bs you past the point where you can file. Next time you see the owner, try and get anything from him in writing to acknowlege he owes you $$.
If all that fails, time for, well never mind, lol. But suffice it to say, it's hard to show a house with broken glass and it would get tiresome having to keep sending someone out to repair windows weekly. And pellets are cheap!
