break the lease (tenant, clause, management, property)

[smith1107]

a year and a half ago a new property management took over I asked if they needed me to sign a new lease, they said when my lease was up they would be taking over. Now I wanted to break my lease due to buying a home and and I asked them to review my lease with me and what certain things mean and they do not have any of they forms including my old lease. Was I suppose to sign a new lease with this company?.

No you weren't, the old lease is still in effect so just follow it. Even if they don't have a copy today doesn't mean they won't have one tomorrow.

Wouldnt you be month to month if you havent signed a new lease?

How long has it been since you signed a lease?
What does that lease say about extending tenancy beyond the first year?
What does that lease say about ending tenancy?

Now I wanted to break my lease...
and I asked them to review my lease with me...

Find someone else to review your lease with you.
Look for a tenant advocacy agency.

If you didn't sign anything anew, it's month-to-month. 60 days notice from 1st of the next month... in our state

Most likely, but some leases have automatic renewal clauses in them.
