It is very common to let a lease roll over into a month to month when the landlord does not intend to increase the rent right away, the terms of the lease still apply and are binding, there is no rent increase until the landlord gives you 30 days notice.
When a term lease expires and rolls over to a month to month the same terms and conditions as in the original term lease hold over - no new lease is written. However, since it becomes a month to month, both tenant and LL can give each other one month's notice of quit and any changes to the original lease such as a rent increase must also be preceded by a month's written notice from the LL.
Month to month is 15 day notice and doesn't have to be in writing but often the mutual agreement is a 30 day notice since for both sides it can be tricky to be out in 15 days...the worst side can be for the tenant in case they can't find anything within 15 days.
In our office we usually are careful if someone wants to move in within days since often it is a bad sign.
