If you are on the lease you have a right to stay on the property. Your dispute with him (who pays the rent etc) does not change the fact that you have leased the property from the land lord. He can't kick you out. As a pratical matter, if he is paying all of the rent, and has physically forced you to leave, and you have not paid any rent for which you are getting no benefit, you may be better off the move on. However, you have the same right to the property that he does if you are on the lease. I am not telling you to stay in an apartment with someone who might hurt you. I am simply answeing the narrow legal question you posed.
