I’m preparing for the worst as my bf always acts crazy when we fight. Please note I’m not scared for my physical safety. 

But I basically gave him an ultimatum. Change your behavior or I’m leaving. I 99.9% know it’ll be “okay get the fuck out then.” 

If he threatens to kick me out sooner, do I have tenant rights? We lived together for over 5 years, I have all the proof needed that this is where I live. He doesn’t own the home and he pays the rent. I don’t think I’m on the lease but the landlords know I live here. 

I tried doing research and still don’t quite understand. A lot of info says tenant can be defined as someone who pays rent, but it’s not always money.
I take care of our entire home. I’m a homemaker. To me it sounds like I’m a tenant and that’s my “rent”. That he would have to “evict” me if it got to that.

I’m looking to leave asap anyways. I’m not trying to draw this out.

He has money, I wish he could just get a hotel for a week while I get my shit together. This is my home, I have nowhere else to go. And I need to be here to gather my stuff. 

I’m in AZ if anybody has knowledge of those specific laws.

Posting this under BPD as I don’t know where else to turn. This whole situation with him had been a nightmare. I feel like i did most of my grieving early this year, as this is my FP. So I’m absolutely distraught but also starting to just want out. I can’t do this anymore and it’s starting to make me feel suicidal.

I don’t want to have to call the cops but if things escalate I’ll want to maybe have something in writing or legal permission that I can stay here.
