Here in Aussie, not being on a specific lease puts you on a monthly tenancy, so landlord could give a month's notice to vacate, sign you up as the new tenant on your own to take up possession when the month is up, and he gets to look for his own place.
May be worth looking at, as you could have his removal of furniture etc, supervised so that he takes what is his and leaves yours in situ. Could save you effort, and money in moving costs and looking for another place.
God bless
