dear landlord is entitled to increase rent after 3 years 25% to 30 % .

or after every 1 year only 10 % .

you can file a case in civil court and get a stay order in your favour. Alongwith that if she goes to the rent controller then you have to contest the petition and you have a strong case to get it dismissed.
