 1        AN ACT to amend the Entry on Adjoining Land to Accomplish
 2    Repairs Act by changing Section 1.
 3        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section  5.   The  Entry  on Adjoining Land to Accomplish
 6    Repairs Act is amended by changing Section 1 as follows:
 7        (765 ILCS 125/1) (from Ch. 30, par. 1051)
 8        Sec. 1. If repair and  maintenance  of  a  single  family
 9    residence  existing  on the date this Act takes effect cannot
10    be  reasonably  accomplished  without   entering   onto   the
11    adjoining  land,  and  if  the  owner  of  the adjoining land
12    refuses to permit entry onto  that  adjoining  land  for  the
13    purpose  of  repair  and  maintenance  of  the  single family
14    residence, then the owner of the single family residence  may
15    bring  an  action in the circuit court to compel the owner of
16    the adjoining land to permit entry for the purpose of  repair
17    and maintenance.  The court shall prescribe the conditions of
18    the  entry  and  shall  determine the amount of damages to be
19    paid to the owner of  the  adjoining  land.   The  court  may
20    require the owner of the single family residence to give bond
21    to  the owner of the adjoining land to secure performance and
22    payment. As used  in  this  Act,  "single  family  residence"
23    includes  real  estate  submitted  to  the  provisions of the
24    Condominium Property Act and containing units used as  single
25    family residences.
