This isn't true unless you're in the middle of a fixed term contract. If you've come to the end of a fixed term contract or if you're on a rolling contract then the rules are different, and it's unfortunately likely that the landlord is operating within their rights. In theory the rent increase has to be 'fair' but in practice this means nothing.

Yeah you don’t have to accept a rent increase just like that. Especially by that much. You only have to accept it if you agree at the start of a contract otherwise I’m pretty sure it has to be mutual agreement. He has said he wants to, doesn’t mean he can unless you just go along with it
