§ 2872 Property Lien Security Charge

• •A lien is like a claim on someone's property to make sure they do what they promised.
• •It's not the same as giving the property to someone else to hold.
• •The property is used as a guarantee that the person will follow through on their agreement.

If you hire someone to fix your car and don't pay them, they might put a lien on your car.

This means they have a claim on your car until you pay them for the work they did.
