I've always held that the occupant of a building must be the one to invite, not the owner.

Reasoning: vampyric stories have been around since monarchies and nobility were the standard for landowners. The people in houses all over the kingdom didn't own the houses or land, that belonged to some lord somewhere.

So since the people still had to be wary of inviting in strangers. The vampire could enter if they, the occupant (but not owner) invited them in.

Your best bet is to just stab everyone who asks to enter with a silver crucifix-stake dipped in garlic and holy water.

    Isn't silver for werewolves, not vampires?

    Counterpoint: people who had their folktales recorded weren't mud-hut peasants, and probably owned their own homes.

    Your best bet is to strip nekkid, and double dog dare visitors to come in "against your will" while you have a potato cannon filled with wooden stakes handy.

    They come in? BAM, bye, trespasser!

    They run in fear? BAM, bye, bloodsucker!
