Reactivating a terminated lease?

Reactivating a terminated lease?

Lease contract states we had to give 90 days notice prior to lease ending…we did by certified mail. Our certified letter notified landlord we will not renew lease. Their certified mail return letter acknowledged our lease termination and gave a move-out date. 30 days later we gave handwritten note asking to cancel our cancellation notice(deal on a house fell thru)….we have a new home deal and now & want to leave by the date they gave, without renewing…..now they saw we renewed but “legally” we didn’t…I feel once lease was terminated, a whole new lease would have to be signed.  Who is right?
