Is it permissible to remain and live in a house that the father bought with profits from investments that are Islamically forbidden? And if it is not permissible, is it then permissible to pay a reasonable rent in exchange for staying in it?

If you can do without the housing, then do so. Otherwise, there is no harm in benefiting from it, and you are not obligated to pay rent. You should advise your father to stop committing sins and to stay away from illicit earnings.
