No, what you've described doesn't sound right; you might want to have an attorney review this lease.

Re: rental agreements

If your lease automatically renewed for 12 months this might be in error or a deliberate attempt to shorten the lease. In either case, it should be addressed with the landlord. Also, be sure that the lease did not renew in January as "month-to- month".
