What to do if my husband told me that I had to leave the house today?
Is he allowed to do so if both of our names are on the mortgage?

If your husband wants you to leave the home you are occupying, what matters is whether or not your name is on legal title to the home, not the loan secured by the mortgage on the home. Since your spouse wants you to vacate the unit, I suggest that you should consult with a family law attorney about your domestic situation.
As to whether your spouse can force you out of a home that you have an ownership interest in, he cannot unless there is a court order requiring you to vacate.
