If you want it to be a year, call or write your landlord or management company. Tell them that there is no expiration date, and you want them to send you a copy that has the date on it.

If the lease doesn't specifically state an ending date than it isn't binding. You can get out of it at any time unless you signed or committed trough something other than the lease. I'm not a lawyer but if it doesn't have the time period on there than who's to say what you agreed on...?

If there is absolutely no reference to duration, and the terms simply state something like, "rent is $X per month, due on first of each month..." then most every court will interpret that as being a month-to-month periodic tenancy. It can thus be terminated by either party upon communicating proper notice, which is 30 days in most states.

I would assume so but it should be in there some where
