Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

I have an issue with my Property Manager. We have no contract. Now he is charging me 20% of all rents. Never got a 1099 in years. And I believe he has been swindling me when it comes to remodeling homes.
For example, he claims $ 3,000 had been paid for labor (on a house I bought which wouldn't even require paint, only felling of 2 trees and minor work. $ xx,xxx later he would not even explain what the "labor" was for!! Responding I'm harrassing him with such a question.
The thing is, he usually pays someone $ 10 an hour. That's a lot of work...
One MH remodel, he just said "$ 7,500". Plus a $ 5,000 fee. I kept probing as to ACTUAL COST, especially thousands claimed to be spent on some electrical heating only device. (A few weeks ago, I had a complete gas heating system replaced for $ 1,500 for a 1,640 ft SFH in CA, plumbing issues and all).
Closing, he LIED about "needing $ 2,200", and I sent the money. I'm now upset and don't want to take this attitude any more.
What are my legal options?

Get a new property manager. If there is no contract, then you do not have any obligation to keep him on.
