After how many days does a handyman lose eligibility to file a mechanic's lien following the recording of a notice of completion?

  1. 29 days

  2. 60 days

  3. 30 days

  4. 75 days

The correct answer is: 29 days

In California, a handyman loses their eligibility to file a mechanic's lien after 30 days following the recording of a notice of completion. This means that if the handyman fails to record a mechanic's lien within 30 days of the notice of completion being recorded, they will no longer have the ability to file a lien to secure payment for the work they performed. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the specific timeframe outlined in California law. It is important for real estate professionals to be aware of these timelines to protect their rights in situations where payment may be at risk.
