Liens
A Nevada supplier with no direct contract with the owner begins delivering materials and gives the owner a Notice of Right to Lien 60 days later. Under NRS 108.245, what does that notice protect?
- a.Nothing at all, because a notice given more than 31 days after the first delivery is void
- b.Materials furnished in the 31 days before the notice and everything furnished after it✓
- c.Only the materials furnished after the date the owner actually receives the notice
- d.Everything furnished since the first delivery, however late the notice is given
Under NRS 108.245, a claimant who does not contract directly with the owner may give the Notice of Right to Lien at any time after first furnishing labor or materials. The notice is not void for being late. It preserves lien rights for what was furnished in the 31 days before the notice and for everything furnished after it (NRS 108.245(6)). Anything furnished earlier is left out, which is why the notice should go out as soon as work starts.NRS 108.245 (notice of right to lien; 31-day look-back in subsection 6)
