You will find everything you need there.
You can sue in small claims court for the overdue rent.
After 15 days, you can put his property in storage.
You should be ready to go now.

You may contact my office if you wish. You may have options, but should always follow proper legal procedures when dealing with such issues, and you should have an attorney. I am not sure I understand the content of your agreement, and whether you entire rental agreement was verbal or just part of it, from your summary.
