Rental Issue: Need advice

Hi QL's,
Please I need your advice. Two months ago I rented a flat from a person.
Today, I asked him for the contract (Rental agreement). He said that it isn't necessary. But I need it especially to get the family visa for my wife.
So I want to know, which kind of problemes could I have if I'm not getting the contract (Internet, RP for my family...)??
When asking, I found that many peoples rent wihtout any agreement.!!!
I'm little bit confused.
Please help.
Tell him your situation again ....
