Now, probably after a long and drawn out court battle, a plaintiff can probably get the lien removed as a “sham”, but a cursory examination by the typical plaintiffs attorney would probably not produce that conclusion.  

Quote from @Kar Sun: My tenant's lease is coming to a close and I am relieved she will be moving soon.She has been paying on time but has been extremely unpleasant and rude.While the money does not smell my mental sanity is more important than money in this case.She sent me a registered letter stating that she feels "unsafe because we have not done the fixes the way she wanted it".She requests to have her witness for a walkthrough.In my state a walkthrough is required but I am not about to grant it to her to bring any witnesses as that is not in my contract.If she feels unsafe she does not have t be present.I also do not treat a final walkthrough with a tenant as a final sign off.This walkthrough does not include a detailed inspection of the plumbing and the appliances that will be done after she departs.This is simply for the visible cosmetic issues and should take less than 1 hr.  

Quote from @John Clark: When I read successive “rah rah” posts, I smell skunk cabbage, but that’s just me.Perhaps, but also maybe folks are looking to spread positivity as a networking strategy, which resonates with how I aspire to be: Giving value in as many interactions as I can, because that truly is abundance.

If you really can help, you should get a legal team for us and help us fight this battle together.

It could be an expensive battle. 

When an owner or broker policy is facially fair and uniformly applied, it usually meets the smell test.

The bigger it grows the larger the potential for someone to cry foul, and the hammer comes down.

.), easily get cold feet, battle financing issues or sometimes just ghost you at closing.Selling a home to a tenant is probably the better path (lease option), but you really have to work with them every month and coach them to get them ready to buy the home, otherwise, 70% will not execute. 

Come on, it doesn't pass the smell test.One can invest in big-name syndicators' deals for $25,000 or $50,000 now.

It feels like now we might have this battle won.
