In absence of any written agreement your tenancy would be treated month to month terminable by one month's notice at the option of the land lord.
Has the deposit been made against receipt or it has also been deposited in his bank a/c or given cash without receipt? Absence of proof may create hardship of refund.
All receipts of rent deposited in bank a/c must be preserved safe as proof of payment of rent.
Anyway he would not be able to evict you forcefully.If you do not vacate a suit of eviction against could be filed against you by him.in case he tries to evict you forcefully,a suit of injunction could be filed by you against him in civil court having jurisdiction over property.
