Eviction notice, how legal?

Is there a minimal time of eviction notice used for apartments rented without contract?

So another instance, you sign a contract yet the landlord does not have it legalized by a lawyer and so when it comes to the matter of eviction he is able to say, what contract?

Rent is paid in full each month and the intention to continue until a new place is found is the intention.

Anyone tried to evict or been evicted without sufficient time to find another place?

Thanks.

Thankyou all for the comforting information, I have been seriously stressed by this whole situation. Reasons for wanting us out are that he basically fell out with me over money. He owed me money and so I refused to pay the rent until he paid me, he came around within 3 days and wrote me a receipt to show the rent had been paid in full in cash. For me this was the end of that drama. Still it is uncomfortable to live somewhere you feel unwanted and so we searched for a new property. We found one we thought was nice, and so we put down a deposit to hold it for us. Within this time I spoke to a guy who knew about the landlord and her history of trouble making when it came to returning deposits on leaving, as well as a slight history of trouble with break ins in the property. So we were put off and called her on the monday (paid deposit on the previous friday) to ask for the deposit back, she wouldn?t give it back, instead returned 50% of it. The little problem was I mentioned to my landlord on the friday that we may be leaving, although I put nothing in writing and didn?t mention anything for definate, only trying to make him aware we might be moving so he wouldn?t give us trouble returning our deposit.
So, should I be writing anything down formally for him here. I know the usual state would be to give notice of one month prior to leaving, we have not found a new place yet and so I am a little paranoid to give definitive dates then he has me over a barrel.
Also I have been paying monthly rent, my intention now is to pay weekly as if we do find somewhere then we can leave instantly, can anyone see a problem with this?
Thanks in advance.

I see a couple in my building in that situation. I can?t justify living in someone elses property free of charge, all I want is for the situation to be fair on all counts.
