§ 1.
If repair and maintenance of a single family residence existing on the date this Act takes effect cannot be reasonably accomplished without entering onto the adjoining land, and if the owner of the adjoining land refuses to permit entry onto that adjoining land for the purpose of repair and maintenance of the single family residence, then the owner of the single family residence may bring an action in the circuit court to compel the owner of the adjoining land to permit entry for the purpose of repair and maintenance. The court shall prescribe the conditions of the entry and shall determine the amount of damages to be paid to the owner of the adjoining land. The court may require the owner of the single family residence to give bond to the owner of the adjoining land to secure performance and payment. As used in this Act, "single family residence" includes real estate submitted to the provisions of the Condominium Property Act and containing units used as single family residences.
