I recently renewed my lease for an additional year, just by signing a single paragraph stating the new lease end date and that all provisions of the previous contract remained in place.
After just a month into the new lease term, I needed to move out and informed my landlord that I would be ending the contract early. The place was re-rented with new tenants in, in less than 10 days from when I left.
The original lease had an addendum stating that a fee of 2 month's rent would be required for early termination of the lease. The landlord said this provision was still applicable, and I owe two month's rent.
Is the landlord correct, or would they have needed to have me sign a new addendum at the time of lease extension?
