If your verbal agreement was for a lease lasting more than one year, it would have to be in writing to be valid. I Dthat case, the landlord would be able to change his mind, because there was no valid contract in the first place.
If, however, it was for a month-to-month lease, or a lease lasting less than one year, a verbal agreement is sufficient to create a valid contract, and if the landlord cannot change the terms after the contract has been formed, otherwise he is in breach.
However, the answer below is right about one thing: even if the verbal agreement technically constitutes a valid and binding contract, absent any evidence of the agreement or its terms, proving that it was made in the first place will be very difficult.
Whether it's strictly necessary or not, it's ALWAYS a good idea to get agreements like this in writing, signed by both parties, since people tend to conveniently "forget" the terms of verbal agreements when it's convenient.
AnswerYes. A verbal agreement is not a legal contract. If the two of you disagree on something that was said it will be his word against yours, as it is hard to prove otherwise. Always get it in writing! A written contract is vital since it will be legally binding.Agreements associated with real property must be in writing. In some cases an oral agreement may be enforced, but seldom for rent or lease of property.

If your rental agreement provided what would happen with improvements, then the rental agreement governs as long as it does not conflict with your state's landlord-tenant act.

A landlord is generally a person owns property for rent. A tenant is someone who rents property from a landlord.
A lease agreement is an agreement between a landlord (property owner) and the tenant (resident). It is a legally binding agreement that allows either party to sue in court if the lease agreement is broken. A lease agreement is signed prior to a tenant taking residency in the dwelling (building).Tenants RightsTenants have rights under the lease agreement and can expect certain things from the landlord. The first thing tenants should expect from the landlord is a safe place to live. The landlord must keep the home in good repair. If there are issues in the residence that pose a health risk to the tenants, the landlord must repair it..The landlord cannot enter the home unless he or she has been given express permission to do so by you. If the landlord takes such action, he or she opens him or herself up to a lawsuit. The tenant has a right to privacy.The tenant can expect the landlord to return the security deposit placed when the lease was signed. The landlord can keep a portion of the security deposit if repairs are necessary due to damage done by the tenant. The landlord may be able to keep the full security deposit if the tenant owes rent. The security deposit must be returned to the tenant within a certain amount of time, generally 60 to 90 days.Landlord's RightsThe landlord has the right to expect rent on time each month. They have the right to expect the correct amount of rent due, not just a portion. If the landlord does not receive rent on time, he or she can sue the tenant in court for payment as well as eviction.The landlord has the right to expect tenants to take care of the property. The tenant is allowed a certain amount of room with normal wear and tear, but huge holes in the walls or stains on the carpet are looked on as a problem. The landlord can use the security deposit to make these types of repairs after the tenant moves out.The tenant/landlord relationship can be a good one as long as both parties adhere to the laws and the lease agreement. Both sides have options if the other side does not adhere to the lease or laws. Not all landlords wish to have a lease agreement in writing. It is important to have the agreement for the protection of everyone involved.

Create an agreement between you, the Landlord, and the tenant. Specify your rules for renting him the property (the rules may not be unconscionable, such as to violate the laws or to allow the Landlord into the home without notice), and the consequences of violating the terms of the lease. Seek legal advice if necessary.
Yes. Since the tenant affixed the improvement to the property, it becomes a fixture, which belongs to the landlord. An exception to this is if there was an agreement between the landlord and tenant, or if the landlord gives permission for the improvement to be removed. Standard picture hooks, and other like objects, do not constitute fixtures, and may be removed if they belong to the tenant.
A tenant estoppel agreement is between the seller of the property and purchaser, which may have specific terms, such as the terms of the lease for that tenant - for example, the condition of purchasing the property is that the new landlord will honor the terms of the lease originally written by the old landlord - a list of tenants in each unit of the property, and how much rent each tenant is paying.
The basic rule is as follows: if your landlord files bankruptcy that is a matter between your landlord and his creditors, not you, the tenant. You are still required to pay rent or be evicted, as long as your landlord has control over the property. This applies to whether the landlord has filed for bankruptcy or if the property is under foreclosure. In either case, if you end up staying on the property, the new landlord will provide further instructions on whether to stay or to move.
