What rights do we have as a homeowner against a subcontractor who hasn't been paid by the contractor (even though the contractor has been paid and we have proof).
Answer
Under Va Code Sec. 43-7A, what the law terms an affirmative defense or partial affirmative defense, you have the right to contest any attempt to perfect
a lien against you by the subcontractor if you have credible proof that
you've already paid the general contractor the full amount that the subcontractor is seeking or at least made a partial payment of this amount to this contractor.
