If there is no written lease agreement, then you have a month-to-month lease that can be terminated by the landlord with sufficient notice. The Missouri atty general has a pretty decent summary of landlord-tenant issues on his website. If you think you have some sort of agreement beyond the oral agreement, you should certainly seek the help of an attorney.
