Are we month to month or not?

My husband and I signed a one-year lease in 2007 in a non-rent stabilized 3-unit apartment. After it expired in June of 2008, we agreed to go month to month on the rent with “minimal to no increase.” The landlord decided not to raise our rent after all. There was no lease renewal contract. The original lease has no mention of how the lease would renew.

What are our legal rights in this case? Are we still bound by the terms of the original lease? Can he kick us out after at any time? If we wanted to give notice, do we have to give him the 60 days’ stated in the original lease? Should we insist on a new lease?
