Different States and Counties have different laws on this. In California, you must give 30 day written notice. If you already agreed to renew your lease, you are more than likely stuck with it (unless it's month to month). That is a contract, and your landlord legally has the right to uphold it. Bring it up to your landlord, and see what they can do. Never hurts to ask.
Yes.
No, just proper notice, if the lease so requires.
Generally you are not required to give a 30-day notice in order to refuse to renew your lease-- unless the lease is automatically renewed each year. If that's the case then you need to give proper notice or your deposit may be forfeited.
Unless the offer to renew was made in writing and signed by the landlord, he may legally withdraw a verbal offer at any time.
Generally you can renew a lease by stating your intention in writing to the landlord and awaiting their response to you. If a landlord does not give you any type of response within 30 days of the end of your lease you are able to stay on a month to month basis. They must give you notice to leave, they can not make you leave. Generally a tenant does not have to give a notice to leave at the end of their lease.
Some leases automatically renew themselves if notice is not given within a certain amount of time before the end of the lease term.
only if the lease has a statement that your lease is automatically renewed unless the tenant does not wish same.
Yes with the proper notice a landlord can chose not to renew a lease
A landlord should give the tenant written notice that the lease is ending, 60 days before the end of lease. The notice gives the tenant the option of either renewing the lease or announcing (also in writing) that they don't intend to renew & will be moving by end of lease.

Formal notification of a lease renewal is a prudent act. We recommend you fax, with a receipt copy, and mail a second signed copy to the Landlord. If it is a lease with substantial value, such as being under market price, you are advised to get a signed receipt from the Post Office through certified mail or a recognized overnight delivery service such as FedEx.1. Make copies to accompany your lease copies, where you keep them. Have a witness sign the original documents just for safetys sake.2. If you have any concerns about the integrity of the Landlord, consider hand delivery with a signed receipt by a courier, an employee, or yourself.
Normally the landlord must give at least a 30-day notice before the expiration of the lease that he will not renew it, so the tenant must leave. There is one exception: if the tenant is in violation of the terms of the lease, the landlord may terminate the lease and give such short notice for the tenant to leave.
Many leases simply automatically renew if you do nothing at the end of the lease period. Others will send you a notice with a date by which you must reply. You will be charged a fee if you do not provide 30 days notice, but it is usually pro-rated.
Only if the signed Lease states that written notice is required to renew. If it does not then you would need to take a look at your local landlord tenant laws / rights
