May a claimant knowingly include unrelated disputed work from another project in a mechanics lien?

  • No; only the lienable amount
  • BYes, to create negotiation pressure
  • CNo lien may ever include labor
  • DYes, if the owner is the same

Why A is correct

A mechanics lien is a property-specific statutory remedy, not a general collection device. Unsupported inflation or unrelated charges can undermine the claim and create liability.
