Original lease was signed with guarantor. Guarantor no longer wants to be on the lease and landlord refused remove cosigner from lease. Landlord sent a deemed lease renewal. Current tenants plan to move two months into new lease agreement that was not signed by tenants. What is the procedure for breaking said deemed lease?

Re: Breaking Deemed lease
If the new lease was not signed by the current tenants, than the tenants are deemed to be month to month.
As a month to month tenant, you may terminate the lease with a thirty day notice given to the landlord.
