that depends on the setting you're writing.
I think it would be more interesting to instead say yes or no, and then explain why it's that way in your setting.
if yes, perhaps the law is magic in its own right, or perhaps the state is ordained by god. If the vampire is a protagonist, then perhaps the story might be interestes in exploring the necessity of due process and the consequences of not doing that.
If no, perhaps it is because the police are a corrupt institution lacking support of any higher supernatural power. Our vampire cop might feel forced to use increasing sinister methods of gaining entry to suspects homes.
The answer could even be different depending on location, and showing the difference could be very interesting.

wait
is property lines the same as a house?
can you sublet a room on your house and hide there?
can you surround a vampire with houses and he cannot escape?

Hey, I'm an amateur vampirologist. Feel free to tell me to go F myself if you disagree, but here are my thoughts.
In most media I've seen it's not the property line, it's specifically the house.
Subletting leads to an interesting conundrum that I'll have to explore more but on its face I think it checks out. I also think it's very silly and would love to see a work that explored this.
As I understand it, you'd have to build them pretty close together so it couldn't escape, especially if it can turn into mist or fly, but theoretically I think that would work too if you could build fast enough.

But if you're born in the USA, you didn't agree to any ToS it was forced upon you at birth. Never chose to accept/agree to them, but obligated to follow them or face punishment.
A contract signed under duress is invalid.
If you’ve voted, you’ve essentially agreed to the ToS

I am not a vampire lawyer, but vampire courts do tend to side with the vampire when these types of questions come up after the fact.
Courts are just cosplayers. Probably not even real vampires.

Wait, aren't landlords de facto vampires?

i won't tell you to fuck yourselves, I'll do it myself ..
next questions
a cave can be a house, can a vampire enter a uninhabited cave, but if next day someone moves in, will the vampire be unable to enter?
if a vampire inherits a house, no one formally invited him in, could he enter, as he is the legal owner and therefore only need his invitation?
do tents count as housing? what about this:
could you wear a tent like that and vampires would be unable to bite you?
-
Can a vampire not break and enter? Would an invitation work if they were out of town and needed the vampire to cat sit for a weekend? Does you being in the house have an effect on the invitation or it deed based? How are renters handled? So many questions!
If you’re like me, you’re frustrated with vampire law. Here at Vampire Law, we help to keep your invitations clear and any misunderstandings cleared up.
Express, verbal consent if there is a person in the house. No one in the house = no need to grant permission.
-
No. The vampire is bound by a supernatural barrier not even the likes of Dracula can defy. Otherwise Dracula would be a judge to issue warrants for his fellow vampire officers.
I actually think you've just described the current political climate in the US.

I wonder how this would interact with, say, Manhattan's Eruv—a wire used by some Jews to demark a private space.

Can confirm, no warrent carrying vampires have gotten into my house without permission from someone inside.
So what I'm gathering here is that you do indeed have vampires inside

Jews Invent Eruv traditions to be safe from vampires.

But wouldn't someone have to be living in the houses? I feel like empty buildings wouldn't work.

Y'all this one is simple.
Legally, yes.
Physically (for supernatural reasons), no.

At it's core a house is an inhabited building. I think an occupied outhouse might work even, if you stuck a much of them together with the vampire in the middle. I'm envisioning like a 3x3 porta potty cube with a vampire in the center one.
But yeah I think there would have to at least be a person in each one

I think it's the Dresden Files mythology? But I always liked the premise that it's not the house that prevents them. It's the magic of a home. They could walk into some house a squatter is living in for a few days with no issues, but a home where people truly live make it their own, have families, memories...that's what gives the threshold power.
IIRC, even in that universe, a vampire can force it's way in, but the threshold strips it of most of its power if not invited.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Depends on the fictional mythology. For instance the show Tuee Blood says it only applies to homes owned by a human, not businesses and such. That show has so many plot holes... But that idea they almost stick to. So I would say if the entire country was owned by 1 person and they lived there and had no businesses in it, sure.
