end of tenancy

Hi all,
Just a quick question about our tenancy agreement, but I apologise if it is a stupid one!
Our tenancy agreement is up on the 30th Aug. We want to renew for another 12 months which the LL has agreed to - she also wants to put up the rent which is fine. This was agreed to over a week ago but since then the LA have done nothing about a new contract. First they sent us a letter saying our tenancy ended on the 30 Sept (wrong) and everything is ready to be signed so can we please come in and see them. Everytime we have phoned up to see them they are either too busy and will get back to us (which they never do) or the contract is being sorted and they will get back to us within a few days (again, never happened).
Today OH phoned up and asked if we could go in on Sat to sign the contract but was told that they will be too busy with new tenancy agreements to sign. Tomorrow and friday are virtually impossible for us as OH is working away from home and so won't be able to sign.
After this essay (!) my question is, if the LA don't have the contract ready to be signed before the 30th, what happens? I presume we will go on a rolling contract but for how much rent (nothing about the rent increase has been put in writing)? We would like to sign a contract to stay here for another year so do we just wait for the LA to get themselves sorted and sign the new contract whenever they are ready?
Thanks all for your help

You will become a statutory periodic AST from 31st August. Your rent will remain the same. You can sign a new fixed term AST anytime.
Just keep nagging the LA I guess.0 -

What EXACTLY did it say?
Worth checking that it wasn't a valid section 21 notice ordering you out.
If it wasn't then your AST just switches to a normal monthly contract.
In which case I'de do nothing. nothing at all.
Just keep paying your rent at the orginal level on your current AST.Bankruptcy isn't the worst that can happen to you. The worst that can happen is your forced to live the rest of your life in abject poverty trying to repay the debts.0
