Our careful review of the lease compels us to con-
       clude that it is unambiguous as a matter of law. As
       previously noted, paragraph 10 (A) of the lease pro-
       vides: ‘‘This lease will automatical[l]y renew on every
       an[n]iversary for the term of one year unless a written
       [agreement] is signed by us, or you vacate the apartment
       when the lease ends.’’ (Emphasis added.) The terms
       ‘‘we’’ and ‘‘us’’ are defined in the lease as referring to
       the plaintiff. This usage is consistent throughout the
       lease. For example, paragraph 2 reads: ‘‘You will pay
       us total rent of $28,800.00. You will pay the total rent
       in monthly payments . . . . You will pay us a late
       charge of 5% for each payment that is . . . late. . . .’’
       Paragraph 7 notes that ‘‘[w]e may enter the [a]partment
       at reasonable times . . . . We will give you reasonable
       notice of our intent to enter the [a]partment. . . .’’ Para-
       graph 9 states that, in the event that the building is
       condemned, ‘‘[i]f we decide to cancel the lease, we will
       give you notice within fifteen (15) days after the date
       of the condemnation.’’ Paragraph 22 provides that the
       lease ‘‘shall be binding upon you and us and our respec-
       tive successors, heirs, executors and administrators.’’
