[RPPTL-constructionlaw] 713.10 lien for private leasehold on public land

[Timothy A. Hunt]

I filed a lien on Tropicana Field. Government fee. Private tenant (baseball team). Client was paid quickly. Your simply filing a lien against the leasehold.

Does anyone have any authority for a construction lien on a leasehold where the lessee is a private party but the lessor is a municipality (i.e. on public land)?  The lessee contracted for the improvements which were required by the lease agreement.  The only authority I have found is Section 8.3 of the Fla. Prac. Construction Law Manual which states in the first paragraph, in part: “However, there may be private leasehold interests on governmental property that are lienable.”   I have found no other authority.
