Parents are evicting me from their rented apartment. What are my rights as an occupant? Are tenants allowed to evict?

If your name is on the rental agreement then you're gold. If it is not then you don't have much of a leg to stand on. But it ready depends on how the sheriff or whichever official is asked to evict you decides to interpret occupancy by-laws in your municipality.

Your best protection is to get a lawyer, though it's going to cost some money.

But the bigger question is why do they want you out? If you're an adult you should be on your own after all, though I get it that there can be mitigating circumstances. Regardless it's something you should be working towards.
