If you didn't sign a lease, then you're SOL. Leases are to protect the you and your the landlord. Because you have no lease, your landlord can claim you don't live there. So you may want to ask your landlord for a lease for your own legal well-being. Most states have a generic lease. If you are renting a room in a house, or a one bedroom apartment you may want to check if it's a SOD (Single Occupancy Dwelling). This is something that is included in your lease if it is an SOD. Because if the residence is registered as such with the city your landlord can face serious fines if more than one person lives there.
basically...get a lease or move somewhere else that has one for your own legal benefit.
