Hi grico,
Thanks for joining us.
Regardless of whether you are on title, you are equally entitled to the matrimonial home (50% interest) and, you're right, you do not have to compensate your husband for storing your belongings. I am certain that a lawyer would not inform your husband that you must pay rent, so it may not be wise to rely solely on what your husband says. Instead, I think it would be best to speak with a lawyer yourself to find out what exactly your rights and obligations (if any) are.
Having a look at Jeffrey's answers to FAQs may help answer some of your initial questions.
