By your own admission, you are not currently under a lease agreement. Therefore, the LL does not owe you a future in the property. Tenants seem to lose sight of the fact that being a tenant is, by definition, a temporary situation. You will move from every rental property at some time. If you have received the use of the property for each and every month in which you have paid rent, then you are even and the LL owes you nothing more. The rent paid to a LL is simple income to that LL and the tenant does not have any control over the LL's use of the income, nor should he want such control. Same as your employer; that employer supplies you with an income, but he doesn't dictate that you pay your mortgage or rent with it, it's up to you to decide how to spend that income. Don't confuse being a month-to-month tenant with having any real right to the property except for the current time you are paying for.
