Legal issues aside, This guy is obviously insane and you should want to move out.

In my county, Fairfax, they require me to serve written eviction notice with a 30 days to vacate before I can throw his stuff out.
Call your county courthouse clerk and ask for the office where eviction notices are filed, then ask that person exactly what are the legal requirements for eviction, and on what basis, and then you will know what laws your boyfriend must comply to as you physically separate.

 All the previous answers make sense. If you have established residency there, but getting bills and mail at the address, you may have legal rights and at least 30 days to vacate the premises.
As suggested, check with your local housing authority for accurate facts regarding your rights!
Good Luck!

Hi there, well if you guys have mutually been in a relationship together and things arnt going good btwn the two of you, technically he would have the right to tell you to leave. The courts wouldn't allow you to continue staying there if he no longer wants you there, it would end up leading to something worse then just telling you to leave. now on the other hand it is very unfortunate that you dont have anywhere else to go, and i would look into this a little more if i was you, but if you currently receive your mail at his residence or you pay the bills or partially pay the bills, then that is considered your residence as well and in the court system it would be equivalent to renting an apartment, a landlord cannot just kick you to the street. which means usually a 30 day notice of eviction which would give you time to relocate.. Hope this helps!

 Well Jon
Question is did you to have some type of agreement before you moved in? If you two have a binding agreement then it can stand up in court..Did you two consent to cohabitation? Some states recognize Common Law marriages if you two lived as or verbally agreed to be such a couple..If not then you really do not have any legal ramifications. You may have to leave..
