Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An artisan's lien arises when a skilled worker, such as a repair shop owner, has provided labor or services to improve, repair, or add value to a customer's property and has not been paid for the services rendered. In this case, Sally, the owner of the small appliances repair shop, has provided a service to Jane by repairing her television, but Jane has not paid the bill or retrieved the television. As a result, Sally can attach an artisan's lien on the television as security for the unpaid bill. A contractor's lien, mechanic's lien, and installer's lien may also arise in different situations, such as in construction or home improvement projects, but they are not applicable in this case.
