renting contract expired

hi
i signed a 6 month contract for a rented property which has now expired. i asked for a new contract but the landlady hasn't sorted one out yet. does this matter? i'm still paying the rent etc does this go onto a rolling contract or am i leaving myself vulnerable without a new contract in place.
thanks very much for any help

    No, when a fixed term contract expires and no further contract is signed, your tenancy becomes periodic (rolling on indefinately until either the landlord or tenant gives notice). If the rental contract is monthly, then the landlord gives the tenant two months notice or the tenant gives one months notice with the notice period expiring with the rental period.

    All other terms and conditions remain unchanged. You have the same rights and the landlord has the same responsibilities as before apart from the change to notice periods.

    The Shelter website explains the difference between fixed term and periodic tenancies.
