Answer:

If you signed in March the March lease should state when it expires or whether it is a month-to-month lease. If that lease expired then the lease provided to you in July is to get a new lease. It is not clear whether you are saying the July lease was provided to you before expiration of the March lease or before.

FAQs

A new lease can void an old lease if both parties agree to the new terms and sign the new lease. However, if the new lease is not signed by both parties, the original lease remains in effect until its terms are fulfilled or it is formally terminated. It's essential to review both leases to understand their implications.
