Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

Tenant leaves early per Landlord request. What happens to the lease agreement?

My husband and I signed an 18-month lease with a

management company working on behalf of the landlord

to rent their house. My husband and I are the tenants

and the owner of the house is the landlord. After

leasing the premises for 14 months, the landlord

requested to move back into the premises. The landlord

and the tenant come to an verbal and written (via

emails) agreement that the tenants would move out and

the landlord would regain ownership of the premises

prior to end of the original lease agreement. As

agreed verbally and written (via emails), the tenant

move out and the landlord moved back into the

premises. What’s the status of the original lease

agreement? Is it void or valid? Are the tenants

responsible for any terms or conditions related to the

original lease agreement? What’s the status of the

verbal and written (via emails) agreement?
