Liability for a dangerous condition on real property must be predicated on ownership, occupancy, control, or special use of the property, any one of which is sufficient to give rise to a duty of care. In the absence of one of these predicates, a party cannot be held liable for injuries caused by the dangerous or defective condition of the property.
