you're screwed....sorry to be so blunt...but you might be able to get him for the repairs and if you have records of them and what you've put into the place,and receipts, you might be able to take him to small claims court.
NEVER EVER rent a home w/o a lease or contract!!!! the guy's a slum and he's using you!
Or you could even cause some "slight" (OOPS!) damage to the work you've put into it and also since the landlord doesn't have a lease documented, he could very well be screwed too! For he has no proof that you were his tenant! (LOL) |

There's an old saying that goes like this: An oral agreement isn't worth the paper it's written on.
In other words, without a signed contract, he can pretty much do what he wants. You might be able to take him to court, but you'd need some mighty strong witnesses on your side. More than likely, you're going to have to find a new place to live. |

you're in a month-to-month tenancy. You're screwed. Live and learn: don't improve someone else's property. |

If it's an oral agreement, you might be screwed. If it's on paper, legally, in most states, the new owners have to abide by the rental agreement until it expires. Unfortunately, there's no proof of an oral agreement. You might want to talk to your old landlord about getting something in writing, to protect you once the new owners take over. However, most places are much harder to sell if they are already tenant-occupied, since most owners looking to occupy the house. You might consult a lawyer, or the best thing to do might be to start looking for a new rental. |

Without a written agreement, you're out in the cold. Sorry to hear it. Maybe... just maybe... he has something else??? But, of course, you'll want to do any future business with him ON PAPER. |

based on your relationship with him since you have known each other for 3 years and are probably on good terms your best bet is to try and negotiate some sort of compensation for your work...
I am also not so convinced that you may be totally screwed if you were to take this to small claims arguing that the work you put into the home was in consideration of the fact that he was not to sell the home...if you can prove that this is what he had told you and not what you had assumed from him then you may have a leg to stand on...not the easiest argument but your position looks weak |

Unfortunately, without the protection of a lease agreement you really do not have any recourse here. In CA where I'm from, this is a contract that requires a writing and I am certain that most states would follow suit. Hiring an attorney and pursuing this further is probably not worth it.
Look for another place and make sure to fill out a lease agreement with your next place. This is both for you and your landlord's protection. |

Unfortunately, there isn't anything that can be done. Oral agreements are rarely held accountable as binding contracts and because there are no signed contracts either, you're really left with only one option and that is to find a new place to live.
I'm sorry you're having to go through this and I hope that you are able to find a new home quickly and easily, preferably with a written contract. I wish you the very best! |

just write to him, have some correspondence with him, prepare proofs that he have agreed for 3 years. create witnesses. consult a reputed lawyer, who may help.
dont vacate.
check whether the new buyer is coming to stay or he will be accepting rent from u. |

i really, really hate to say it, but i think you're screwed.
it sounds to me like he 's going to sell the house, and it sure isn't worth it to pursue him legally to stop him anyways-- even if you did have a verbal agreement. if you kept your receipts, you might try submitting them to the landlord, but if he tells you he's not going to reimburse you, you'd have to take him to small claims over it anyways.
you have been hosed, i've been there, and i'm sorry. |
