[RPPTL LandTen] When Is Residential Tenancy Created?

I am defending a lawsuit where purported tenant states my client agreed to rent him premises. No lease was signed and no money changed hands, but the purported tenant moved in while my client was out of the country and bad things then ensued.
My fundamental question is when is an oral residential tenancy created if there is no written lease and no money has exchanged hands? Is it as simple as the tenant moving his stuff into the premises?
Thanks
Manny
