Can you clarify that? To be clear its normal not to change rents during the contracted period. When contract expires what are the rules for permissable rent increases for the next contract?

Rental contracts are usually not expiring (there are exceptions).

Each party can terminate the contract usually twice a year with a three month notice period.

Termination must follow certain formality and it's slightly lopside to the renters advantage in that a renter can challenge a termination, while the landlord can't.

Rent increases after a contract is terminated are possible within reason and within fair market value of the rent.
