text: Yes and No. Really it will depend on local laws. Usually if a person is receiving mail at a residence for any period of time they are considered a tenant with legal rights. Technically they could not file eviction paperwork as you are not on a lease, unless you sublet, the owner would have to file the paperwork instead. If the owner were to file the paperwork it would have to be for all parties in the rental not just you. Long story short if you really want you have means of fighting it and dragging it out for a lengthy period of time.
