Part 5/12:
Liens are legal claims placed on property when debts related to home improvements are unpaid. They cloud the property’s title, making refinancing, selling, or even insuring a home significantly more complicated. The law typically gives suppliers—a subsidiary of Home Depot, SRS—the right to file liens if they are not paid within a year. Suing for foreclosure is possible, which could result in the forced sale of the home to settle debts.
