Licensee

Licensee

A licensee is an individual who is invited to enter or remain on the premises for any purpose other than a business or commercial one with the express or implied permission of the owner or person in control of the premises. A social guest will be considered to be a licensee, not an invitee.

Generally, a possessor of premises is liable for physical harm suffered by the licensee because of a condition on the premises if, however only if, the claimant demonstrates the following three factors:
1. The possessor was aware of or ought to have known of the condition, ought to have understood that it involved an unreasonable risk of harm to the licensee, and ought to have expected that the licensee may not discover or realize the danger;
2. The possessor did not exercise reasonable care to make the condition safe, or to inform the licensee of the condition and the associated risk;
3. The licensee did not know or have reason to realize the condition and the connected risk.

For example, if a homeowner knows that one of the steps leading into the basement is broken but would not appear to be broken to a reasonably observant person, the homeowner might be liable to the guest who, without notice of that broken step, is injured since the step gave way.
