A healthy cycled and sensibly stocked tank should get small partial (about 20%) water changes once a week with dechlorinated water. Once a fortnight is possible if the tank is understocked with fish with a light bioload and heavily planted.
If you do water changes less regularly you run the risk of either ammonia/nitrites creeping up and killing your fish or nitrates creeping up and causing algae blooms and long term harm to your fish. Any fish added to a tank with high nitrates will die quickly too.
