  1. Notifications of a rent increase depends on terms outlined in the lease. For example, if a lease states that a tenant or landlord must give 60 days notice for termination of rersidnecy, then that is the minimum amount of time a landlord has to notify you in writing of a rent increase. If there is no written lease, then a landlord must give at least 30 days notice (unless a tenant pays weekly rent, in which case only a week"s notice is required.)


  2. Unless there's rent control in place he can make whatever he wants for your new rent with a new lease.

    You are also a tenant in place.  If you were to leave, he would have to spend money advertising and cleaning and fixing it up for new renters.  It might be worth your while to negotiate with him.
