Buffyverse mythology states that a vampire cannot be invited into a home unless invited in by a person living there. When a vampire is invited into a home once, it can enter again at any point, unless a reversal spell is done. The spell was first seen in Passion, after Angel lost his soul and started stalking Buffy. The last words of the incantation (read by Willow at Buffy’s house) are “Hicce verbis consensus rescissus est,” which translates into English roughly as “By these words permission is rescinded.”
The spell is done at Buffy and Willow’s houses, and Cordelia’s car. When Giles leaves Buffy’s house, he takes the spell book containing the spell to uninvite vampires and says to Willow, “I suppose I should do my house next.” Buffy also uninvited Spike to her home in Crush.

The un-invite spell was also done in Buffy vs. Dracula after Joyce invites Dracula in for tea. Willow and Tara perform the spell.

Actually, the whole “invited in” thing is standard vampire lore, not just Joss’s twist (odd that I know this, as Buffy is my ONLY venture into this kind of stuff — I don’t do Anne Rice or anything else in this genre).
