He probably could. If you have no prior agreement, than it's his land, and he can decide he'll only rent if you agree to his terms, which could be a lease.

This is usually the standard requirement on a lease; absent a lease he cannot require this. But if you plan to move out before the lease expires then the landlord can require for you to find a replacement tenant, or you may be required to pay the rent for as long as the unit remains unoccupied, up to the time he finds a new tenant or the lease expires, whichever comes first.

No. A lease is a legally binding contract, which obligates both the landlord and tenant to a tenancy for the term of the lease.
