So who really is in charge when it comes to the topic of inviting in a vampire?
Most (if not all) of the literature states that in order for a vampire to enter a private home they must be invited in by a resident of that home. The problem here is that real estate and living situations aren't really that simple.
My situation for example:
I reside in an apartment in a residential apartment building. I rent this apartment with a flatmate. We are both lease holders and we split the rent and utility bills evenly.
My flatmate has a boyfriend who spends most nights at our apartment. He does not officially live here, but he has a key and has spent quite a lot of time here even if my flatmate was not.
My parents have a key (as back up) and they pay my rent while I am in school.
Recently my flatmate was out of the country for a while so she sublet her room to a polite and clean boy to pay her half of the rent and bills.
The apartment building is owned by a management company rather then a single landlord. Many people have shares in the company, so many people technically own our apartment.
The only names on the mailbox are mine and my flatmates, but we always get mail for Hussain Imam (I really want to know who he is).
I still have a key, receive packages, and have personal items at my parents apartment. I have not slept there in months at least.
Can all of these people invite a vampire into my house? Can I invite one into my parent's house? I need to consult Mr. Cataliades, the half-demon lawyer for the Vampire Queen of Louisiana [in the Sookie Stackhouse world].
