DEFENSE OF PAYMENT: OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYMENT TO SUBCONTRACTORS…read more There is no automatic defense of payment for the Pennsylvania project owner.That is, the owner can be required to pay for the project twice.Even if the owner has paid the general contractor in full, a subcontractor will be able to establish a lien and eventually foreclose on the property.The burden is on the owner to make sure that all subcontractors are paid. Accordingly, the Formal Notice is for the protection of the owner, who, upon receipt of notice, can withhold funds from the contractor in order to pay the subcontractor's claim.92 For this reason, it is also to a claimant's benefit to send a notice as soon as possible.If an owner can withhold payment from the contractor, it is more likely the claimant will be paid without the time and expense of filing suit to enforce the lien claim.An owner will fight a lien claim much harder if the owner faces the possibility of paying for the project a second time. As previously stated, once an owner has been served with a notice of intention to file a claim, the owner is allowed to withhold funds from the contractor.93 The owner can require the contractor to promptly settle or discharge the claim.94 This is discussed in greater detail in the section below titled Rights and Options of Owners and Lenders. An owner can create a defense of payment by filing a copy of the general contract or a stipulation in the prothonotary's (clerk's) office before commencing construction.95 This will limit each subcontractor to a pro-rata share of money still owed the general contractor.96 PRIORITY Various types of liens can be placed on a piece of real estate.Some liens are "consensual," such as a deed of trust or mortgage.These are placed on the property purposefully by the property owner.Other liens are "involuntary" or "judicial," including judgment liens and mechanics liens. The general rule is that all liens have priority in the order that they are filed in the land records.The term "first trust" or "first mortgage" means that this was the first trust filed in the land records on that property.A "second trust" is the second trust to be recorded in the land records on that property.If the property is foreclosed upon, the first trust holder receives all of the proceeds of sale, until the first trust holder has been paid in full.If there are any sales proceeds left, they go to the second trust holder, until the second trust holder is paid in full, and so on.The priority of any type of lien is extremely important.Priority will determine whether or not the lienholder gets paid upon foreclosure.A lien with low priority can easily be worthless. There are very few exceptions to this "first in time, first in right" general rule.One exception is a mechanic's lien that is inchoate, as are mechanics' liens in Pennsylvania, Virginia and the District of Columbia.If a mechanic's lien is inchoate, this means that the lien relates back to the time when work began on the property even if the lien claim is not filed with the court until a later time.The lien exists from the moment labor and material are supplied to the property, as long as the claimant eventually perfects the lien by filing.97 Priority Between Mechanic's Liens and Other Liens In erection and construction (new construction) projects, the Pennsylvania mechanic's lien has priority over most other liens filed with the court after the date of "visible commencement upon the grounds" of the project.98 One exception to this general rule is that purchase money mortgages and construction loans have priority over mechanic's liens, regardless of when these mortgages are filed in the land records. Given the broad language in the statute, purchase money mortgages and construction loans filed even after a lien claim appear to have priority over the lien claim.99
