Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Missouri

I am buying a house rent to own. Both my name and my boyfriends name is on the contract but his name is first. He says if I was to leave I could not have any of my things an there's nothing i can do because his name is first on the paper work and if anyone steps foot in the yard he can have them arrested for criminal trespassing on his property. Is this true? And what should I do?

Absent a restraining order, one tenant cannot usually deny the other access to the property. The order of the names probably Do s not confer more or less right to the property.

Good luck
