My opinion is ultimately the PM company should be held liable to make sure this vendor gets paid.The PM agreement states: (21) hire contractors to repair, maintain, redecorate, or alter the Property provided that Broker does not expend more than $ for any single repair, maintenance item, redecoration, or alteration without Owner’s consent; Leasing & Management Agreement concerning: (TAR-2201) 6-1-10 Initialed for Identification by: Broker/Associate and Owner , Page 3 of 11 (22) hire contractors to make emergency repairs to the Property without regard to the expense limitation in Paragraph 4A(21) that Broker determines are necessary to protect the Property or the health or safety of an ordinary tenant;3) Should/Could the vendor file a mechanics lien at this point?
