Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately if your services are no longer required you can be asked to leave. However they cannot just throw you out, since you have been living their with the permission of this gentleman you have the same rights as a tenant. This means they would have to follow the same procedures for an eviction before they can legally force you out.

So to answer your question, they can evict you but will need to follow the same guidelines as in a landlord tenant situation.

As to your belongings, they have no rights to conceal or deprive you of your personal property. This is considered theft, a criminal offense which you can press charges for or sue in civil court to recover your property or the reasonable value of the items they have.
