If you choose not to pay the rent you owe, he can justifiably evict you for failing to pay the rent you owe. Please recall also, he's your father, not a stranger to you. You knew what he was like when you rented from him. If you try to pay your rent and it is refused, you can use that as a defense if your father takes you to court. If he's tearing up the rent check in front of you, consider pulling out your cell phone and recording a video.
