My landlord is raising the rent

Without a clause in the contract there is no update; with one, once a year, notified in writing and capped by the official index.

No clause, no increase

If the contract does not provide for an update, the rent is not updated.

«En defecto de pacto expreso, no se aplicará actualización de rentas a los contratos.»

Art. 18 · Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos (Ley 29/1994). Verbatim quotation from the BOE, in Spanish. Official text in the BOE

When

Only on each anniversary of the contract.

«la renta sólo podrá ser actualizada por el arrendador o el arrendatario en la fecha en que se cumpla cada año de vigencia del contrato»

From the month after you are notified in writing.
