Titusville, FL asked in Landlord - Tenant for Florida

Q: Will this lease automatically renew for one year if neither tenant nor landlord gives non-renewal notice? "

I have the following in the lease:

"This lease agreement is not constructed to be automatically renewed at the end of the term for which drawn, however the intent to renew this agreement by the Tenant(s) will be assumed. All parties will need to sign a new agreement in order to activate a renewal term. If Tenant(s) intends to vacate the Premises at the end of the lease term, Tenant(s) must give at least sixty (60) days written notice prior to the end of this lease. If sixty (60) days’ notice of non-renewal is not given prior to lease term, Tenant(s) are responsible for the equivalent rent amount due for the sixty (60) days after notice is given, even though this lease does not automatically renew."

A: Sounds really clear to me: Unless BOTH parties sign a NEW lease the existing lease dies at the end of its term.
