You could just stay there if you are on the contract.  I am not sure if that means you are on the title to the property (meaning you and ex-boyfriend own the place) or if it means you are a tenant on the contract with a landlord.  Either way, either a bank or the landlord would have to kick you out.  The boyfriend might sue you for your share of the rent if you are not paying and obligated to under the lease.  The landlord though can come after you or him or anyone on the lease, for all unpaid rent.  And the landlord only can evict you if you are on lease with landlord.
