Yes. The owner/your boss can terminate your tenancy, as a tenancy arising out of employment is not covered by the Residential Landlord Tenant Act. However if your landlord/tenant does that, how are they going to justify not paying you?
Terminating a tenancy under these circumstances is tricky. Your landlord/boss can face some problems. Remember you can always call the police if someone is too aggressive with you.
As for your agreement to be paid $10.00 per hour: You need to contact the state. They can be reached on line. You want to communicate with Labor and Industries, or possibly Employment. You need to tell them - in writing - what you have said here.
And probably you want to be looking for other work. Best wishes - Powell
