Lease Renewal

I sent the Lease Renewal Form to my tenant stating that I'm offering a 6 month automatic lease renewal at the terms of the current lease. I asked for the notice to be returned to me by today - which I haven't received. The tenant states they will mail it "soon". They're delaying because they aren't sure how much longer they want to remain. The Lease Renewal Notice states of not received by today's date, the lease will automatically renew for 6 months. They have verbally acknowledged receipt of the Renewal Notice. The original lease was for 6 months. My question is, do I need to have the tenant sign a new 6 month lease or is the prior signed lease along with the Lease Renewal Notice sufficient?
