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.

Generally you can renew a lease by stating your intention in writing to the landlord and awaiting their response to you.

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.
