Re: Renting
You cannot require a landlord to give you a lease. However, you are still considered a tenant, just a month to month tenant.
In terms of receipts for cash payment, you should demand receipts. If the landlord still refused to give you a receipt, pay using a money order. At lease with a money order you would have a receipt.
