Tort Law: Licensee
A licensee is a person who is privileged to enter the land of another by virue of the posessor’s consent. A landowner owes a licensee a duty only to warn the licensee of any hidden dangers the owner knows or has reason to know of, if the licensee does not know or have reason to know of the dangers involved. The landowner owes no duty of inspection or affirmative care to make the premises safe for the licensee’s visit.
Typically social guests are considered licensees and, as such, assume the ordinary risks associated with their visit.
