The answer to your question is it depends. If you are the landlord I would recommend a new lease. But, it appears you are the the tenant, in that case, if your landlord does not demand a new lease and you are happy with the terms of the old lease the continue under the old lease terms. Just ensure that you will not be charged for the 4 months that you were away.
Good Luck.
