Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia

In the State of GA, i'm currently renting a townhome from the owner. i did have a roommate and we both signed seperate leases. i signed a 2 year lease (to lock in the price) and roommate signed a1 year lease. owner/landlord stated he was going to short sell the house to the bank and asked if we could move. my roommate has moved, but now the owner/landlord says he's keeping the house and wants me to sign a new lease, (month to month) for more money. my original lease that i signed for two years didn't have any stipulations regarding if one of us move out, that the the other renter will incur a increase in rent. i don't feel comfortable signing a new lease for more rent. can i still try to stick to my original signed lease locking in my rent for 2 years?
