What must the subcontractor be aware of regarding their lien rights?

They cannot file for liens.
They may have lien rights regardless of party involvement.
Only licensed subcontractors can file liens.
They have no connection to lien rights.

The correct answer is: They may have lien rights regardless of party involvement.

A subcontractor must be aware that they may have lien rights regardless of their party involvement in a construction project. Lien rights in Oregon provide a level of protection for subcontractors who may not have a direct contractual relationship with the property owner but who have supplied labor or materials to the project. This means that even if a subcontractor is working under a general contractor rather than directly for the property owner, they can still potentially file a mechanic's lien if they are not compensated for their work. Understanding this is crucial for subcontractors, as it enables them to secure the right to seek payment through a lien on the property if needed. This legal recourse can help ensure they receive payment for their services, which is of utmost importance in the construction industry.
