My boyfriend threatens to kick me and my daughter out of the place we are renting. His name is on the lease but the landlord asked for my information also because I moved in after him. What are my rights? What can I do to protect myself? He pays the rent but I pay everything else, including groceries.

You only have the right that he "kick you out" by affording you due process of law. In many areas this may be giving you a 30-day notice and then, if you are still there, suing you for eviction.
