Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

New lease

I live in Essex County in New Jersey. I moved into a two family house in September of 2000. My landlord lives on the first floor and I on the second. In July of 2001 he informed my husband that he is putting in a boiler so we will have to pay our own heat. When i signed the lease for the first year it was 800 utilities included. The first year lease ended in August of 2001 and he never had us sign a new lease. So we were living month to month. Now he brings a new lease in April 2002 for a year which ends April 2003. I am planning to move from here because we have been having problems. My rent is paid on time everything month since I have been living here. I am planning to move in August of this year. I do not wnat to sign this lease because I am moving. What are the necessary steps in delaing with this and can the landlord just give you a new lease without any notice.
