Dude, sign a lease or find another place.

Is this overwhelming consensus just to protect myself?

Is there any advantage to NOT having a lease?

He said he was willing to write one, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Why? What real protection does the written lease provide the unwritten month to month agreement doesn't? The guy just got out of college, how hard is moving in the owner wants him out in less than a year?

If the location is good and the price is right what does he have to lose? He's probably avoiding lots of standard clauses in the preprinted lease all in favor of the owner.

I don't see it as a big deal if he is comfortable with the location and the price. He also gets the right to get out if circumstances change.
