In this premises liability action arising from a slip-and-fall on ice in a condominium parking lot, the Court of Appeals held, as a matter of first impression, that a short-term rental (Airbnb) guest of a condominium unit owner is an invitee—not a licensee—of the condominium association while using common elements that the association maintains.

The trial court in this wrongful-death case properly 1) granted the estate’s motion to approve and distribute settlement proceeds without first conducting an evidentiary hearing, and 2) excluded the husband – who was married to, but separated from, the decedent at the time of her death – from receiving any proceeds.
