As a general rule, liability for a dangerous condition does not extend to a prior owner of the premises. There is a narrow exception to the general rule, and there may be liability where a dangerous condition existed at the time of the conveyance, and the new owner has not had a reasonable time to discover the condition if it was unknown, or to remedy the condition once it became known.
