Damn, Loquitur might smack me down, but IIRC, a contract only needs offer, acceptance, and consideration. The only items that absolutely require writing are Marriage, Yearlong Contracts, Contracts for Land, Executorship, Guarantors, or Sale of Certain items beyond a statutory amount.
Here, if the 2 of you verbally agreed to a housing agreement (Offer: You come live here for $200/month, Acceptance: Sure, sounds good, Consideration: you let him rent out your room). You have a legally enforceable contract.
Look over some of the contract concepts on wikipedia and you can probably recover some of what you lost in small claims court.
Also, please don't file a grievance with my local bar in case I turn out to be wrong. :P
