Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

$300 dollar Renatl Increase on a year lease.

My landlord by phone informed of a $300 rent increase effective for next months rent. I currently have a one year lease that will be up in May 2000, which does not state that the landlord can increase my rent from the original amount on the lease agreement. What are my rights as a tenant concerning a rent increase? What are his rights as the landlord?

Normally, unless the lease somehow provides otherwise,

a one-year lease fixes the rent for the year, and the landlord

cannot raise the rent during the term.
