I am assuming you have an assured shorthold tenancy. If so, when the initial period is up, you can "hold over" - ie continue the tenancy. In order to get possession the landlord has to serve a notice under the Housing Act and if you refuse to leave he cannot get you out without a court order.
As long as it is a AST it matters not what your tenancy agreement say since this is a statutory provision.

Barmaid is correct. To evict you, the landlord has to issue you with a written notice under either section 8 or section 21 of the 1988 Housing Act. In this case, it would be section 21. This notice gives you TWO MONTHS notice that the landlord intends to seek possession - it DOES NOT mean that you have to leave on the expiry date, the landlord has to go to court to 'seek possession' and that process will take a couple of months.
You can not be served with a valid section 21 notice if your deposit is not in one of the 3 government approved schemes.

Forgot to say, if the landlord does not issue a valid section 21 notice your tenancy becomes a "Statutory Periodic Tenancy" and can remain so until your landlord commences the s21 or s8 process. If tenant wants to leave during a periodic tenancy they must give one months notice, ending on the same day of he month as the preceeding tenancy agreement.
