Can a roommate kick me out of a house he doesn't own?

I live in CA i live with a retired man, he acts like the caretaker of the home but isn't really in charge of it just acts like it. Lately he's been getting on myself and other tenants for staying up late and having a few drinks. He posted "rules" that he says the landlord made up and it says we can only stay up till 10am each night and have 3 drinks in a 24hr period. The reason i know the landlord didn't make this is bc the landlord comes by on the first to pick up rent and parties most of the night with us drinking wine and beer staying up late. During the week i don't drink or stay up late because i work early in the morning, my roommates do including the retired one. I got threatened with 30 day notice not from landlord but by the roommate and it was for something that another tenant did. 
Does my roommate have legal ground to do this?
I pay rent on time and usually keep to myself especially if i have a drink.
I have a contract and it doesn't specify on any of these rules.

Not everything can be stated in a lease.  It would be way too long.  If the guy rented the house from the landlord and then rented each room to various people, then he - not the landlord, gets to make the rules that you need to live by, or he can evict you.  However, if he is just another tenant and you rented directly from the landlord, as did the other tenants, then you all should decide on house rules, but if you close your bedroom door and want to stay up late, that's your business.  Just don't parade around the house keeping them all awake.  That behavior could get you kicked out - the others will make your life miserable so, being considerate is what you need to be in a shared house.

It is possible if the tenant in question is acting as an agent (representative) of the landlord. Thus the only way to know for sure is to contact the actual landlord or demand the tenant to show proof of agency.

If your contract is with the landlord, then this other guy can't kick you out.
