You never signed a lease? It blows me away that anyone would rent out a place without filling out a simple document...what was your landlord thinking? What were YOU thinking?
Legally speaking, you can walk, and the landlord has no recourse. The practical question for you is whether or not you paid a deposit. If so, you would be well advised to give a month's notice or you can kiss that money goodbye. Of course, without a lease YOU don't have any recourse if the landlord wants to rip you off.
Next question: would it be ethical for you to leave? Have there been problems with the rented property that the landlord should have taken care of? Have you got ANYTHING in writing?
Whatever the case--NEXT time, protect yourself and make sure you get it in writing. You can buy a simple contract at a stationery store in most jurisdictions for a couple of dollars. When you sign a lease in the future, take a friend with you so there can be a witness.

have self belief me, somebody will finally come soliciting for the money. So be waiting and set it aside. a sprint develop documentation helps too considering on a similar time as that particular comes a knocking he maximum ordinarily will in all probability no longer understand you have gotten been finding to do the right ingredient and can maximum ordinarily assume your a ineffective beat. So what you do is placed notes on the owner's or supervisor's door or mail a letter to the guard of the apartment no longer concern-free, some ingredient on the thank you to later show you have gotten been appearing in nicely faith. maximum maximum in all probability the owner merely has a short lived private impediment. the keyword there is temporary.

there are tenant / landlord laws and you should look them up in your area. Go to the city clerk and ask them where you can find them. You should be aware of your rights. Also it sounds like a month to month basis. Talk to your landlord about what you and to do but don't make any decisions without looking at the laws first.

I would give your landlord a 30 day notice.
You should get your security deposit, less any damage costs. You landlord may hold your rent, if you leave without notice,

Legally - yes. But it would look better for you if you would give some notice - in case you wanted to use your landlord for a referral ever. There's no sense in burning any bridges.

Of course you could. But if you want a good reference to rent another place you should give at least 30 days.

that could be different state by state. go to a local landlords office (someone with many properties) and grab a rental guidelines form. i'm talkin about the ones that are put out by the gov. they'll have them sitting out. it'll at least direct you to a website hosted by your state gov that will explain your rights

Unheard of. There may be laws involved but simple courtesy demands notice.

No lease means you can go whenever. Also, if you didn't sign a deposit agreement you can get that back any time you want.
