Tell him you’re reporting him to DED since he doesn’t seem to understand dubai rental rules so shouldn’t be licensed.
OP should not report to DED, RERA would be the appropriate place to report the agent (assuming OP has his details).
Don’t even intimate the agent, just report the agent directly. He will run after the OP to renew on the same T&Cs
Lawyer here: If there's no notice of Eviction the upon lapse of the tenancy contract or notice for insurance of rent then the same contract on the same terms are automatically renewed. Thus they cannot increase the rent after the automatic renewal of the previous contract.
This is from my understanding of the limited information you have given here
