(b) If the notice of commercial real estate broker lien is based on compensation that is to be paid in installments and any of those installments are due after the lease or rental of the real property, the notice of commercial real estate broker lien shall be recorded within ninety days after the tenant takes possession of the real property and is valid only to the extent that monies remain unpaid by the owner of the real property to the broker.
