UC rent increase by £300 in feb

Slightly panicking. I have very cheap rent and have been a long term tenant for 10 years. Landord has to remortgage and my rent will go up by £300 per month from feb.
I switch to UC 2 months ago so still very new to me but have figured out I cant report a change until its happened so I am worrying about having to pay my rent with the increase in feb.
But it is back dated isnt it? for instance this month my assessment period is 28th oct to 27th nov, still trying to work out my periods for childcare!
Thanks if anyone can help

You need to find out your local housing allowance in your area and how many bedrooms you r entitled to as it may be the gov may cover the increase as you said u had cheap rent.
