What is the name of your state? Nevada
I came into contact with an acquaintance who was renovating a neighbors house and was asked if I wanted to work. This acquaintance is not licensed by any means, but agreed to work. After 9 straight days and nights, those of us involved confronted this guy for the last time about not getting paid. Come to find out he had been paid in full by the homeowner the monies that were designated for us laborers. The homeowner states he was unaware of this. Do I have the right to go after the homeowner, who has the means to resolve this matter more so than this acquaintance, and put a mechanics lien on this property (on the market for sale)? The acquaintance does not own any property, vehicles or have any cash on hand or in an account.
On top of working, I also came out of pocket to purchase daily drinks, ice and food with the promise of reimbursement. My receipts were turned in to the acquaintance, who claims to have lost them!!
Any help is greatly appreciated. This financial setback caused me to move in with family members and incur MANY financial hardships.
