Mr. Jay is correct. The answer to your question is in your lease. Consult an attorney if you don’t see it.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
It depends upon the terms of the lease. Some lease agreements have self renewing clauses that say something to the effect of this lease will automatically renew unless you give notice at 60 (or 90 or some other number) days prior to the expiration that you do not intend to renew it and will be vacating the premises at the end of the current term of the lease. If your lease has such a clause, there may be penalties at this time although a judge might find the clause void and rule against the landlord in a lawsuit.
You should consult an attorney and have the attorney review the lease and advise you of your legal rights and obligations.
