No. He must use the proper eviction procedure.

It sounds like you live in the same home as your landlord...these are tricky situations. He does not have the right to change the locks or physically remove you, but it doesn't mean he won't try. The police are unlikely to assist with the eviction and he would have to get a court order. To get to the heart of the question...with a week to week tenancy, he only has to give you a 2 days notice to leave.

No he must give you notice as required by your rental agreement.

No, he still needs to give you a notice to quit and, if you don't, then he has to start an eviction process.

No you have a legal tenancy and he cannot kick you out without a court hearing
