If you are married, have a tenancy contract that's signed by only one party, do they have the powers to evict you if the relationship breaks down, or there is/are laws that protect you?

It's both tenants home so no one can evict one of the tenants for no reason. Either person can serve notice and end their tenancy and then it's up to the other person to decide if they want to stay and pay the rent in full from that point on, or not. https://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/private_renting/how_to_end_a_joint_tenancy
