A. A lien pursuant to this article attaches to the subject real property when all of the following occur:

B. On recording the notice of commercial real estate broker lien, the broker's lien is perfected.

C. Not later than fifteen days before the date that the tenant takes possession of the leased premises, the broker shall record a document entitled “broker's preliminary notice of intent to lien” in the office of the county recorder in the county in which the real property is located and shall deliver personally or by first class mail a copy of the broker's preliminary notice of intent to lien to the owner of the real property interest. The broker's preliminary notice of intent to lien shall state that the broker is entitled to compensation under the terms set forth in the written agreement between the broker and the owner and that the broker intends to claim a lien on the real property. The broker's preliminary notice of intent to lien shall include all of the information prescribed by § 33-1073, subsection A and shall be entitled “broker's preliminary notice of intent to lien”. The broker's failure to record the broker's preliminary notice of intent to lien within the time prescribed by this subsection extinguishes the broker's lien rights.
