An unconditional lien release from a subcontractor implies what about the owner's property?

• A. The property may be liened
• B. The property may not be liened
• C. The property is exempt from liens
• D. The property is unaffected

Answer: (B)

An unconditional lien release means the subcontractor is giving up their right to place a lien on the owner's property for the work covered by that release, and they do so without any conditions. Because the release removes that specific lien claim, the owner’s property should not be liened by that subcontractor for the amounts and scope described in the release. This does not mean the property is free from all liens or that it’s unaffected by other creditors—only that particular lien claim from that subcontractor is gone.
