As you know a signed lease is a contract between you and the landlord and unless you are lucky enough to have an understanding landlord and you have a very, very good reason to break this contract then you are responsible for the agreement in that contract. Usually people have to pay the first and last months rent and possibly a damage deposit and you may lose that. You have tied up the landlord from renting to someone else, so it would be to your best interest to offer to let him/her keep the first months rent. Talk to the new landlord and hopefully your reasons for not moving in are valid and you just haven't found a better place to move too. You may just get lucky.

If the original lease states in some form that "automatic renewal of this lease will take effect unless written notice is given by either party ... blah blah blah".

In this case, yes, it would "auto-renew" without signatures.

If it is signed by both parties it is a binding contract. The lessee can cancel, but may be subject to cancellation fees. The landlord can cancel if the tenant has broken the lease agreement in any way. This would entail a notice from the landlord to the tenant. If the renewal is signed by only one party, it is not yet valid.

You need to read the agreement you signed. There may be no legitimate reason to cancel the agreement, and you may have to pay a penalty if you wish to leave.

Generally speaking, a lease protects you against fee and rental increases in return for you committing to a minimum term of occupancy. In most cases you are not allowed to simply cancel the agreement anymore than the landlord can just raise the rent.

If the lease restricts who can live in the apartment, as long as your son is listed as an occupant on the lease, he or she can continue to live in the apartment (unless the lease specifically states otherwise). If the lease does not have a restriction on occupants, your son can continue living in the apartment as well.
