Is my tenancy dated back to 1999 still valid?

In 1999, my tenant’s Mother signed a tenancy agreement which requires 2 months notice either side, and allows for RPI rent increases.
The Mother has died, and her son, who lived with her, has carried on paying the rent. He is a trouble free tenant and pays the annual RPI rent increase.
The property is now (after minor upgrades) EPC C and has the necessary Gas & Electricity Certs. and Smoke alarms.
Do I need a new Contract? If so, any suggestions for templates? The deposit is not in a scheme due to its age – should it be?
Is there anything else I need to do to prepare for the new legislation onslaught?
Thanks for the advice.
Peter
