He can't make you move out if you are an owner.
He can try to get a court action called a partition to force the property to be sold. You don't get any special rights for living there.

You get 100% use of the property, Dad does not. Are you financially compensating dad? After all, if there were a tenant, he'd be entitled to 50% of rental profits.
