Only if there is a specific clause in the lease that allows that. If you have a typical lease for a certain amount for a certain period of time (like 1170 per month for 1 year) then no, your landlord has to wait until that year is up before raising the rent, at which point you can decide whether to pay the higher rent or move out.

This is one of the purposes of a lease. It protects you, as well as the landlord. Your protection should include an outline of the rental payments during the period of the lease. If it is a level rent in the lease, they cannot legally raise your rent.
There may be some things that you are not telling us here. Has the property changed ownership? Have you changed any conditions of the lease?

No. Not unless it states in your lease that they can raise it. Check your lease over very carefully.

Depends on what your lease says.
