Although that just leaves us with the question about who is considered the owner. I’m a renter, so would that be me, or my landlord?
Fun fact: In German, this boils down to which translation of “owner” is used. I’m the “Besitzer” of my apartment (I possess it), but not the “Eigentümer” (I cannot sell it).
Wait, can anyone invite them in? Not just the people living there?
In all the examples listed in the response, the inviter must explicitly be the owner of the house:

I think “occupant” or “resident” are both better choices over “owner” for how this conceptually works.
If a family live in the house, then a child of the family could certainly invite a vampire in, despite the child not being the “owner”.
