A vendorâs lien is a claim held by a seller on either personal property or real estate, allowing the seller to repossess the property under certain circumstances. It most commonly kicks in when a buyer has fallen behind on payments relating to the property.
What is a lien? A lien is a claim on property to ensure payment of a debt. When you borrow money to purchase a car, the lender files a lien on the vehicle with the state to insure that if the loan defaults, the lender can take the car. When the debt is fully repaid, a release of the lien is provided by the lender.
