Without a written lease, you were a month-to-month tenant on an oral (i.e. spoken or unwritten lease; the agreement between the two of you) lease. As the term implies, a month-to-month tenancy may be terminated on one-month's notice. Therefore, he can give a month's notice terminating your tenancy and that you need to move out, and if you don't, he can then evict you.
