No, he cannot even if your name is not on the lease. That in unless you have entered into a legal separation agreement or a final decree of divorce has been issued which determines who has the exclusiveis right to possession of the premises. Otherwise, it remains the "joint marital residence" which means that you both have the right to occupancy.
