Generally you can renew a lease by stating your intention in writing to the landlord and awaiting their response to you. If a landlord does not give you any type of response within 30 days of the end of your lease you are able to stay on a month to month basis. They must give you notice to leave, they can not make you leave. Generally a tenant does not have to give a notice to leave at the end of their lease.
Your landlord can offer a lease renewal at any point in the lease term, however, he cannot force you to sign or raise your rent until the end of the contract.
Unless the offer to renew was made in writing and signed by the landlord, he may legally withdraw a verbal offer at any time.
The last day of the lease.
That depends on the state. In Massachusetts, the rent has to be 30 days late, and the late fee has to be agreed to in the rental agreement. Every state is different on this.
Well, technically, it's impossible. A tenancy is either a month-to-month tenanccy at will, or a lease for a term. With a tenancy-at-will, either party can cancel with a full month notice. With a lease, the contract runs for a set period, usually a year. Some leases renew themselves automatically if notice to terminate is not given. Others just terminate naturally.
You bet they can. Some leases have language in them that say they automatically renew for another year, and other leases contain language that says they turn into a month-to-month lease. Your landlord would have to evict you if they wanted you out if the lease contains either of those clauses. Barring that, at the end of your one year lease, you have no title to that apartment if the landlord chooses not to renew your lease. No landlord in PA is specially obligated to renew any lease. If you've been a good tenant, they probably will, but if you've been a pain to deal with, they're probably not going to renew you and they'll try their luck with another tenant.
Yes with the proper notice a landlord can chose not to renew a lease

"So you are saying that. I can renew this anytime?"
Generally you are not required to give a 30-day notice in order to refuse to renew your lease-- unless the lease is automatically renewed each year. If that's the case then you need to give proper notice or your deposit may be forfeited.

Absolutely.
Yes, you can certainly renew a car lease. However, it really depends on the leasing agent. For example, Honda does allow for renewed car leases.
A tenant if that right is granted in the lease to the tenant or is a tenant's right because of a law. Normally a landlord can't renew a lease except for specific reasons -- one is called a "holdover". That's where the tenant should have moved out because the lease is over, but doesn't. In that case the lease may grant the landlord the right to consider the lease "renewed" for a period of time. As to a law, there are some places where if you have an oral lease for a year and you as the landlord fail to notify the tenant within a certain time period before the end of the lease that the landlord won't renew, it may be too late and the tenant can "automatically" renew if it wants. There are also leases called "proprietary" leases, which are leases between a building cooperative corporation and the people who own shares in the building corporation and have the exclusive right to a cooperative apartment in the building; it is something that "renews" constantly unless the shareholder breaks the lease or sells the shares.
That is up to the landlord.
The last day of the lease.
No, just proper notice, if the lease so requires.
