Only the party that puts the lien on your house can remove it. It happened to me many years ago when a roof contractor bought materials and didn't pay. The supplier, which happened to be out of state, was given my house's address and put a lien on my house. I consulted a lawyer and called the supplier a few times. At the end, the supplier also knew that he couldn't prove his materials was indeed on my roof and it would cost him just as much to hire a lawyer to sue me for the amount. It goes to tell you that contractors are inheritentl unreliable.
Don't know the source of your problem

You didn't say what kind of lien or what the lien was for. As far as renting the house out, I don't think that will affect it, but if I were you, I would make an appointment with a Real Estate Attorney as soon as possible and try to get this taken care of. Good Luck.

Pay the lien and ask them to remove it. If you are in the process of selling your house, I believe you can make it part of the closing process, the title company will include the lien payment in the transactions. Call the title company if that is your situation.

Pay the amount of the lien and the lien holder will give you a release
