wait if vampires need to be invited in by the owner, do they have to call your landlord?

Wait what if it's a state owned public housing place? Is it the government or the people who have to let them in?

Landlords are kind of vampire too, so you can expect cooperation.

Best to live in a housing co-op. That way the building is collectively owned so they would need permission from everyone.

Do they need consent from the owner of the house or home? If it's a rental, the landlord owns the house but it's the tenant's home.

Though it's always kinda messy turning a human-made rule or idea into a physical law.

That's actually a plot point in at least one of the vampire shows. A vampire buys someones home from the bank, and they're free to enter despite the resident/occupants refusal.

True Blood was great imo (first 3 seasons). Not really into fantasy but this was quite dark at times.

Always remember this savage

But even landlords need to at least give notice before they can legally enter.

Not sure vampiric "law" cares about renters rights. And if it does, is it based on current laws in the country they are in, or the country of origin? And is it the origin of vampires themselves or just the vampire turned. And is it based on the time they were turned or modern laws?

Either way, in one instance I they bought it from the bank after missed mortage payments. So they weren't legally living there anyway but counted as last/current resident for the vampire since the bank isn't a person.

But what if they don't fully own the shell company that owns the houses, do they need a majority stake?
