Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

i have a 1 year tax credit residential lease. i have lived here for 5 mo. and they want to increase my rent. in my lease the only mention of adjustments to the rent is that they will adjust it annually (i'm assuming this is on the year anniversary of when i moved in, although the increase does go into effect on January 1st). Also, it says that it can be adjusted sooner if it is determined it was calculated incorrectly. their justification for raising the rent is rising operational cost. can they raise my rent based on this?

No one can answer this questions simply based on the information you have provided. You would need to have someone read your lease.
