A party who enters property with the express or implied-in-fact permission of
the occupier. The occupier has a duty to warn the licensee of any unsafe
condition or activities on the premises and to refrain from causing deliberate
harm. The owner or occupant does not have a duty to inspect the premises for
the benefit of the licensee. A licensee takes the premises as he or she finds
them. The property owner or occupant does not owe the licensee as high of a
degree of care as he or she owes to the invitee. Unlike a licensee, an invitee
is a party who gives some material benefit to the property owner, such as a
neighbor who helps the home owner with a household task. Typical licensees
include solicitors for religious or charitable organizations, door-to-door
salespersons, and social guests in nearly all jurisdictions.
