This is a new lease. Your prior lease has expired and is no longer enforceable in a court of law.
Your landlord is not increasing the rent based on your prior lease agreement. Your landlord is requiring you to sign a lease with the rent for renting the rental unit on this lease.
Apparently your landlord has no plans of keeping the former lease in effect in any legal way. If he landlord would want to to this, the landlord would automatically allow lease to become void and accept you as a month to month tenant. If this was to occur, there are time restriction,based on the rental laws of your state as to when your landlord would be able to increase your rent.
This is not the case, apparently your landlord is giving you an option of signing the new lease, as if you don't he/she would be expecting you to move and would be offering this rental unit to someone else.
I hope this has been of some benefit to you,good luck.

Do they have to give you 60 days notice? What does the lease say?
When your lease expires, the new lease may have a higher rent. No notice is required to advise you since it is a new lease.
only 30 days is required unless stated otherwise in the lease.
If
Don't sign the new lease, give them 30 days to move out. They can't up your rent without giving you an opportunity to move out (usually).
They don't have to since you already had notice of your lease ending. You received that when you signed the lease; the end date of your lease is spelled out.
Did you give them 60 days written notice that you intended to stay in the unit? If not they were under no obligation to tell you of the increase. It is just like you are staring all over again as a new tenant.
This often does not require 60 days notice, only if they want you out at the end do they need to notify you of the change.
Advance notification requirements depend on state law.
30 days notice is usually sufficient. Your exact location matters.
It is not required in every state.
depends on your state
