You are not a tenant I assume. If she is the tenant or she is the mortgagor (i.e., she owns the home), then you really have no rights to stay. It makes no difference you were co-habitating together. She can simply contact the police or sheriff and have you escorted out (of course, the sheriff may allow time for you to pack up some necessities). You will then need to arrange a time (with or without police civil escorts) to get your belongings.
