Only if he gets a court order for exclusive occupancy. He will probably be successful if he makes the application. He could also obtain an Order of Protection if he is given a reason and files a family offense petition in Family Court or files a criminal action in the criminal court. He would have to allege you committed some criminal offense in order to go this route.
