If it is like the majority of private tenants around here (myself included) it will be a standard assured shorthold agreement where you have no rights beyond the end of your current contract.
I can see this being a problem to a lot of people if all the people with buy-to-let mortgages decide to sell up at the end of the current lease to cash-in before the house prices fall.
