You're on the hook for all the materials you haven't been paid for, your hold back and all the labour you've paid since whenever you had an invoice that was paid.
Then you lawyer up, spend even more money, get in the lien line and hope there are crumbs left at the end but there usually isn't.
I remember when that building on 104th in Surrey that's still empty went tits up the second time, Reliable equipment had a bunch of boom lifts and shit inside and they had fenced it off because the bankruptcy and wouldn't let them on site to retrieve their rented out equipment. They ended up bringing a crane and grabbing the lifts from off the property, possession is 9/10's of the law after all.
