[CLC-Discussion] "Handyman"

Yes, he or she would have lien rights.  If he/she doesn’t supply materials, he/she would be a laborer.  If he/she also supplies materials, he/she would be a contractor.  See 713.01(8), (16) and (18).  If in privity with the owner, then 713.05 is your statute.

Subject: [CLC-Discussion] "Handyman"

Good afternoon and please excuse the interruption,

I am inquiring regarding lien rights for a “handyman.”  More specifically, if an individual performs work that does not require a license (painting, carpet, cabinetry, etc.) is that individual entitled to record a claim of lien for the value of those services? If so, would that lien fall under 713.05 if that individual is in contractual privity with the owner of the property?

Thanking you all, in advance, for your assistance. Your time is appreciated.

Kind regards,

Michelle L. Rivera, Esq.
 Attorney
