Have any of you guys ever had a pre-lien notice sent to a GC or property owner you are working for? I have accounts with Hertz equipment rental and RSC, and both companies send these letters out without warning or reason. The last job I used Hertz on they did not know who the GC was, because there was not one, so they sent the letter to the 3 other subs on the job, and the property owner. Basically the letter says if the person who rented the equipment does not pay the bill we can and will collect it from you. Managers at both companies told me the ONLY way to avoid this letter going out is to rent with a credit card or cash. You guys had to deal with this? What did you do?
