I believe that you have no rights that any other landlord does not have, there are only certain rules that you can legally enforce on anyone.
As of now your house is legally his home and place of residence, most of his rights equal your own.
You have the same legal requirements as any other landlord, and you can not evict him without a court order and changing the locks may result in trouble on your part.
I think, given the severity of your particular situation, you need to do a little research as to what you are allowed to do.
You are in a very difficult situation. You have to protect yourself, but cannot go against the laws that protect him even though it doesn't sound fair.
The landlord tenant act states....
In addition, a landlord, tenant or any other person permitted in the residential complex by the tenant should not at any time interfere with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex for all usual purposes by other occupants.
During the tenancy a tenant has no right to change locks without consent of a landlord and the landlord shall not alter or change locks without providing the tenant with replacement keys. In addition to that a landlord or tenant should not harass, obstruct, coerce, threaten or interfere with each other.
I believe you are bound by the same laws as your landlord since you are basically sub-letting
Again, you need to find out which laws apply to you, BUT still maintain your safety.
