He has the cable bill and the electric bill in his name with the rental address.
He who?
I still have the feeling that without any written agreement and with all rent paid in cash with no receipts the OP will have difficulty proving anything if it comes to an eviction. (Unless he gets 30 days or whatever applies in his state, city, etc.)

OP said somebody else was willing to pay more.
Your reading comprehension skills are at 0 today. I'd take a break and try again tomorrow
the OP will have difficulty proving anything if...
Proving is a question for the Judge if it comes to that.
The thread question is whether a legal tenancy can exist without anything being written.
It can and the LL has the same responsibilities as any other LL under that State law.
(A verbal agreement IS a lease. If you pay rent monthly then you have a month-to-month lease.
Your landlord can not just kick you out. He has to properly terminate the lease, which requires giving you written notice. Texts, phone calls and emails are not sufficient.
A landlord can terminate a lease for non-payment of rent ONLY after delivering a notice to the property giving you three (3) business days to pay the arrears. So, make sure to have a witness with you when you try to pay the landlord.
A landlord can terminate a month-to-month lease by giving no less than 15 days' written notice prior to the end of the monthly rent term. So, if your rent was due today, the notice should have been given to you no later than March 18, 2017. If the rent was due on the 1st, then no later than March 17, 2017.
Either way, the landlord must get a court order. It is entirely possible that the landlord will claim to have given you the 15-day notice when he files his eviction action, so keep your eyes open. And try to pay your rent, again, with a witness. Who knows, the landlord may say something that you can then use to defend an eviction action.)
