Definition of "Licensee"

Individual permitted to enter property with the permission of the owner or the person who controls the property. There is no mutual profit motive; the licensee comes onto the property for his or her sole benefit. For example, the owner of land gives an individual permission to hunt on the property but does not charge a fee. The owner must warn the licensee of any hidden dangers on the property of which he or she is aware.
