That is a tough situation to be in and a tough question to ask here.  If he should pass then you would not be considered a renter or owner without a Will/deed/lease.  So his next of kin that would inherit the property will likely have to evict you.  How long that takes depends on how fast someone is appointed as Personal Representative of his estate and files the papers in court to get you out.  I would not, however, count on being there that long and I would worry about your belongings that are of value in the apartment because all the contents may be considered his in an estate situation. Seek legal help.  Good luck.
