Tenant Improvements
On April 12, 2016, the Missouri Court of Appeals for the Eastern District handed down an opinion Crafton Contracting Company, et al. v. Swenson Construction, Inc.
Under this opinion, unpaid mechanics lien subcontractor claimants who performed tenant finish improvements in a shoe store in a regional shopping mall were able to establish and enforce mechanics liens against the entire mall property. The tenant is as an agent of the owner/landlord for purposes of the Mechanics Lien Statute, §429.010, R.S.Mo.
