Thanks for the podcast! Is the water bill lien effective for all states including California?
Good question. I’m not 100% positive and I believe for our area that might be just for the city of Buffalo. These laws can vary by State and City. Take a look at this law for California. Looks like you can get a lien placed for unpaid utilities and it can prevent the sale of a property.
