Owners in a new Maple Ridge, B.C., housing complex are considering a class action lawsuit after contractors put liens on their properties to try and recover money the developer owes them.Homeowners at "The Village at Kanaka" paid Omni Pacific when they moved in last summer. But the developer hadn't paid all his bills. Many homeowners found out trades' people who built the community put the liens on individual properties.Homeowner Lynn Keller broke into tears as she read a letter one of the contractors sent her."Where the work is completed we will provide you, the homeowners, with a copy of the invoice and upon payment will remove the lien," she said. "After we spent $500,000 on a home they want us to pay it. We shouldn't have to pay to have these liens removed as homeowners." Homeowners can't sell their homes with a lien on them.(more)
