Relates to access to adjoining property to make improvements or repairs
This bill clarifies and expands the legal process that allows property owners or tenants to enter neighboring land when necessary to make improvements or repairs that cannot be completed otherwise. It establishes a court procedure for obtaining a license to access adjoining property after a neighbor refuses or fails to respond to a written request for entry. The law specifically permits entry for tasks such as installing monitoring devices, setting up scaffolding, repairing foundations, and relocating rooftop equipment, while requiring the entering party to provide notice, carry liability insurance, and compensate the neighbor for the use of their land. Additionally, the bill gives courts the authority to enforce compliance with entry terms, approve necessary documents, and award legal fees if either party acts in bad faith.
