No. not if he has accepted money from you. That creates a month to month tenancy and he has to give you 30 days notice.

Just because you haven't signed anything doesn't mean that there isn't a contract. I would speak with either the Citizens' Advice or the Housing department at the local council who will be able to advise your rights.
Tenancies are not just based on what is written but on the way the parties have behaved, has he accepted rent in the past, have you paid on time and kept the property in a good state, etc.

Well, i just had the same question, you can go to mine and see all the answers i recieved. there are some good ones on there. but the bottom line is i am afraid that if there is no lease yes he can in his own way make it ruff on you till you move, or even if there is a lease, he can say that there is something wrong with the building and get you out that way. renting is very sticky now days. people are to into themselves and screw the next person. my advice to you would be try not to fight it, just tell him that you will be out in 30 days and if you cannot get out then, he will have to take action against you that will buy you even more time. I feel for you, because i know exactly what you are going through. my landlord tried to give me 5 days. i think you really should go and check out my answers from my question posted a few days ago. good luck to you and feel free to email me.

I think you have to give at least thirty days notice, with or without a tenancy agreement. If you have been living there they can not just throw you out without any notice. I suggest contacting a nonprofit law firm and asking them this question. They can help you out tremendously for free.

Wether you got an agreement or not you cant get thrown out, You MUST be given 28days notice and still you dont have to leave, to make you leave then it will have to goto court and you can live there for afew months free of charge(normally around 3-4months) as the court case is goin through. Fact
This is an update for wha cari said, cari is wrong its 28days without argument wether you pay weekly, monthly or what.

Not immediately but they can give you a months notice after which point you have to leave.
If you have been paying rent and the landlord is active you can't claim squatter's rights.

Everyone that has replied to this question and said that he has to give you a month's notice are not necessarily correct.
You have not specified on what basis you pay your rent, and this determines how much notice you must be given.
If you pay on a monthly basis, then yes, he has to give you a month's notice.
But if you pay weekly, you only need a week's notice. Likewise if you pay fortnightly, you only need to be given a fortnight's notice.

Depends on the laws in the jurisdiction; some areas require different amounts of time to let you move; but yep, I bet most let you just get booted out

No. It's called a verbal agreement, which is perfectly acceptable and legal in lieu of a lease.

You're lucky you don't have a lease. They actually do more to protect the landlord than the tenant.
