  I rent so I don’t own my house.

  Does this mean i can be an absolute dick and invite them in anyway knowing they won’t be able to enter. Could I literally stand at door and mock them. “Can the big bad vampire not enter, aww, what a shame.”

    it’s magic not a legal clause….
    the people living there, not legal owners

      So if I have squaters they could invite vampires? 😱
      Like if I have a house guest refusing to pack up and leave

        there’s probably some primordial vampire or anti-vampire god going through each case one by one and either letting the vampire come in or not, and it all happens in an instant. i imagine the results would change with the political ideology of said god.

  Now hold on. The man’s house does not exist in a vaccume but within a state and the owner who owns it only does so at the pleasure of that state. In a sense the owner is maybe the one most directly in control over who can and can’t come in but he does not have final say. That comes from the states monopoly on violence able to will themselves into houses under their jurisdiction given the right legal work.

  You might say no, in which case is the owner of the house the only one able to invite a vampire in? No other person with access or implied authority can? No roommate, child, house guest? I think we can all agree that the vampire would be able to enter with those peoples permissions and I would argue the state has more actual authority to pick and choose who can enter the house than any of the examples.

  This vampire cop is truly unstoppable.

  It doesn’t have to be the owner, Just anybody who’s already inside the property needs to let them in.

  So if they had a human as a partner who could go in first and then let them in, then they have nothing to worry about

    Some traditions also hold that a vampire cannot enter a house unless invited by the owner; after the first invitation they can come and go as they please.

    Depends who you ask.

  There were a Terry pratchett book where the king gave permission to come, so the invitation was like for the whole kingdom. But IIRC houses were still excluded.

  What if the city declares eminent domain? Also, how does ownership work with apartments? Can a landlord grant a vampire carte blanche entry?

  source

  • Kirp123@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Eminent Domain can’t be declared by some random police officer, it’s a complex process that takes years and it needs a specific valid public purpose. Some countries require the government to publish a declaration that specifies what public utility the project that will be built on that land will bring.

      Hey, you can’t discredit my question with facts!

      Now answer the second part!

  What if you have a mortgage and they call up the bank?

  source

  • Kirp123@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    When you have a mortgage you still are the owner of the house. You just owe the bank money and the house is just a collateral for that money. If you default on your loan then the bank can take possession of the house to cover the loan and then would become the owners, but only in that case.

    It’s one of the few careers that still offers a pension.a few decades of being a cop, which is nothing to a vampire, and you get a nice chunk of change monthly.

    Spend a century as a cop, do 25 years for 4 different departments, collect 4 pensions. Seems like a pretty good plan for a young vampire to pull.

      Gotta work the night shift only, and need to never get forced to work a double, or give out a ticket/arrest anyone, as you’ll end up in court (which is during the day).
