Invitee

Invitee

An invitee is that person who is invited to enter and remain on the premises for a commercial benefit to the possessor of premises, or for a purpose directly or indirectly connected with business dealings with the possessor. An invitation may be either express or implied. A customer in a department store is an invitee, because the department store actively invites the public to come to the premises and to purchase merchandise when on the premises. A premises owner has the highest duty of care to an invitee.

Generally, the possessor has a duty to use ordinary care to warn or otherwise protect an invitee from risks of harm resulting from a condition on the possessor’s premises when the risk of harm is unreasonable, and the possessor knows or in the exercise of ordinary care ought to be aware of the condition, and should realize that it involves an unreasonable risk of harm to an invitee.

A possessor may have a duty to regularly check the premises for the introduction of hazards to invitees. For instance, a grocery store may be obligated to regularly inspect the floors for the presence of spilled or broken merchandise, and to ensure that its products are not likely to fall from its shelves.
