Although the Lease was on your boyfriends name,and you were both living together at the time the lease was prepared,you do not have any legal rights to remain in the room..perhaps the reason why your landlord 's demanding the 500,is to re-write a new lease on your name.Also,was a deposit paid by your boyfriend to the landlord? If the deposit was paid,what happened to it? My advise to you is to speak to a local lawyer in your area immediately.

Yes. The landlord cannot act until they have a court judgment against the tenant.
My daughter was evicted from her boyfriend's apt when he went to jail How can she petition for a court order to get her possessions out?
Was your daughter's name on the lease? Did she fail to pay her rent? If the boyfriend didn't owe the landlord money she can sue the landlord for the amount of her possessions. If her name was not on the lease she stands the risk of losing her belongings.
Legally can a landlord refuse me access to my deceased fathers apartment?
Absolutely. He didn't rent to you, he rented to your father. He shouldn't let anyone in until some court declares who should go in there and take everything out.
What if your boyfriend paid for the security deposit on your apartment?
The landlord has an obligation to return the deposit to somebody. He wouldn't be wrong to return it to the boyfriend, but he could also return it to you. Then, if either of you feels aggrieved, they could sue in small claims court.

Yes, the landlord is responsible. But keep in mind that this is not a landlord/tenant issue: it's a small claims issue. So this is heard in a small claims court inquired, not a landlord/tenant court.
Can a landlord remove your items from a room your renting without a court order?
I dont believe they can. Even though it is the landlords property, when it is rented out to a tenant then it does not mean they are able to come in and out as pleased. You have right when you are a tenant. I know that they need to have a notice requirement to enter.

If you are in illegal apt and suffer personal injury do to mold and mildew in the apt i just found that apt was illegal in court can i sue my landlord for return of some of my rent?
Uncertain what the questioner means by "illegal" apartment. If the place you were living was not licensed as an apartment/boarding house/rooming house the landlord can probably be charged criminally for operating an un-licensed establishment. You may have no choice but to sue this person in civil court but will have to be able to prove that the person rented you the space KNOWING that it was hazardous.
Can my landlord kick me out of my apartment anytime he wants?
If you have a lease your landlord would have to take you to court to have you kicked out of the apartment. If you are a month to month tenant then the landlord can request that you vacate with 30 days notice.
