More details to this question:
We signed a 2yr lease with the landlord. I received a letter today stating the landlord is not extending the second year and would like for us to leave after one year. I we have any rights? Can we force the landlord to honor the 2yr agreement?

I am unclear if the second year is an option or not. If not, then there is no way to cut your tenancy off short. The document will govern the case.

If you have a two year lease, unless there is a clause in the lease to the contrary, you have the right to the full benefit of your lease.
