<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> I don’t think so. Fla. Stat. 713.10 and the Claim of Lien statutory form contemplates that the lienor will list the person it has a contract with
and the amount of the contract and net unpaid. In your scenario, you would need to list two contracting parties, two first dates of work, two last dates of work, two contract values and two net amounts unpaid by two different upstream subcontractors. I don’t
think that’s feasible or proper under 713. Interesting question though.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
