Jurisdiction

United Kingdom

I have had a verbal agreement to move in with someone and some messages over text, I have paid a months rent and moved in and the fellow flatmate has asked me to leave after a few days without enough time to find somewhere else.

Sorry, you'll need to ask your question on a UK focused legal forum.
Ours is a US focused forum.

Here's a few UK sites that might help you:

Private renting - GOV.UK

Being a landlord and renting out a room - GOV.UK

Most country's laws governing common situations should be reasonable in nature. If the law brings unexpected results for most people, the law is usually not very effective. The UK government site states a landlord must provide 2 weeks to 2 months prior notice to end a rental agreement.
