Under NRS 108, what information must be included in a preliminary 20-day notice to preserve lien rights?
Correct Answer
B) Description of work, property address, and parties involved
NRS 108 requires preliminary notices to include a description of the work to be performed, the property address, and identification of the parties involved in the project to preserve lien rights.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Option B is correct. NRS 108 specifies that a preliminary 20-day notice must identify the project with enough specificity to put the owner and other parties on notice. This requires: a description of the work to be performed or materials to be furnished, the address or legal description of the property, and identification of the parties involved (the claimant, the person who hired the claimant, and the property owner). These three elements together provide the essential framework for any future lien claim.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Contract amount and payment schedule
The contract amount and payment schedule are financial terms of the contract between the parties. NRS 108's preliminary notice is not a contract disclosure — it is a notice of potential lien rights. Contract terms are not required elements.
Option C: Only the contractor's name and license number
Only the contractor's name and license number is far too minimal. NRS 108 requires identification of all parties involved plus a description of the work and property — a license number alone does not put the property owner on meaningful notice.
Option D: Lien amount and filing deadline
The lien amount and filing deadline are elements of an actual lien claim, not a preliminary notice. At the time of serving a preliminary notice, the project is ongoing and no lien amount has been determined yet.
Memory Technique
The preliminary notice answers three questions: WHAT (description of work), WHERE (property address), and WHO (all parties). Think 'WWW' — the web of information that connects the lien claimant to the project.
