if the place is furnished the landlord can put your tent up by whatever he wants. The government passed a law prohibiting an increase of more thant 10% per yeat on your next renewal but this only applies for unfurnished accommodation onl. Also make sure that "white goods", do not count as furnished, as the 10% rise is not covered by the 10% law.
