Are you sure?
It the agreement just says that the lease ends in April then the landlord can NOT increase the rent by that amount.
The only way that they can increase the rent by that amount if the lease explicity states that you MUST MOVE OUT in April. You and the landlord must initial extra boxes on the rental agreement to show that it is a fix term tenancy that ends and that you are moving out.
It doesn't sound like this is the type of agreement you signed. So the rental increase is illegal. I don't think you should let them get away with it.
