Can lease holder physically remove my items from home without judges order?

Question

I live in a shared home and pay rent to the lease holder. He doesn't want me to live here anymore. The leaseholder basically said he has the right to kick me out whenever he wants and to remove my belongings. Is this right? Can he take my belongings and put them on the street?

I'm guessing not - for example even if someone is staying in your home as an unpaying guest, it wouldn't give you the right to pickup their jacket and throw it outside.

On the face of it, no. But it would depend on a number of factors such as the nature of the agreement to rent (written contract, sub let, if you are on the lease or not, if the landlord knows about you etc), and the nature of the eviction (reasonable notice, reason for doing so, term of agreed lease etc). If you could provide more detail with those issues I may be able to assist.
