(a) A criminal act committed on real property by a third party is not foreseeable in any circumstance by a person having an interest in the real property, including without limitation: (1) An owner; (2) A landlord; (3) A tenant; or (4) A lienholder. (b) Except as provided in subsection (c) of this section, a person having an interest in real property shall not be liable to a licensee, invitee, trespasser, employee, agent, or any other person for the unforeseeable criminal acts of a third party committed on his or her real property. (c) This section does not: (1) Establish or repeal the doctrine of infra hospitium, which means in the care or custody of the innkeeper, or change the liability of an innkeeper or the operator of a public lodging; and (2) Expand or reduce the obligation or liabilities of an employer or principal for criminal acts committed under the doctrine of respondeat superior, which makes the principal liable to a third party for any loss caused by the principal's agent.
