It would depend on the laws of the state where the property is located. If the person who has been refused entry is on a rental or lease agreement they can only be kept from the residence by the landlord or by a court order. Additionally, in most instances if the person has established residency by having any utilities in their name or received mail in their name or have children enrolled in school living at the residence, and so forth they cannot be kept out of the residence. If it is a matter of an unmarried couple the state cohabitation laws apply. They can lock you out, but they eventually have to let you in to get your things. It's wise to seek legal counsel. Even if living common-law there is a Statute of Limitations where the two parties are considered married and a mutual agreement between lawyers will help divide any assets you both have together. I think we are not seeing the whole picture here, as to the reasons that this has happened. However, if the other party has locked you out, then you should go ahead and make the best of the situation. Find a new place to live. Make sure that you are no longer on the lease or liable for the mortgage loan, utilities or any other item. Since you have been together awhile, you may need some legal help to separate yours from theirs. This is a tough thing to do, but if you can keep things amicable, the process will go much smoother.
