Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Connecticut

security deposit/sufficient notice

I purchased a property in which a tenant already occupied the property. There is no written lease in effect. Tenant verbally told me of intention to remain in the apartment. During that conversation I did inform the tenant that I would be requiring a lease etc. I have had some potential renters interested in the first floor which is currently vacant and I have been hearing from these people that the existing tenant has been trying to chase off prospective renters. I recieved a phone call today from the present tenant stating that he is leaving at the end of the month. What is considered sufficient notice to vacate? Do I return his security deposit as now I will not be able to get a renter for July1? If not do I have to send a settlement statement?
