He said if I did sign one and wanted to leave early he wouldn't really hold me to it as long as I gave him a months notice. The place was very reasonably priced and nice, so it wouldn't be hard to find another tenant.

I've rented w/out a lease more than once and had NO problems whatsoever. If I were in your shoes, I'd sign the lease but ask to have no time limits in it. Or at least a clause about how you can get out of it.
