If he is on the deed with you, he is as much an owner of the house as you are and has fully equal rights as you to access it, to use it, to store things in it, to bring other people into, etc. Any/all owners can enter, etc. the home. You cannot keep him out unless you were to get a protective order against him, which would require a showing of current threat or risk (past violence, if in the past, would not get a protective order now). If you want to explore this last option, consult with a family law attorney.
