There is no set rule. Until there is a court order neither spouse needs to leave the house. Sometimes one spouse or the other will file a Motion for Temporary Relief, hold a hearing, and try to force the other spouse out. But that is up to the judge. Neither spouse gets preference - it depends on the facts.
