usually they are allowed to increase the rent by 15% only. you may approach "rental dispute" and complain.

@saaaajaaaaan, you can complain everywhere. But it's your decision atlast, you pay and stay or look for a place of your choice at your budget and at your convenience. We cannot dictate terms in a land where we have come to survive/make money !!! Infact some are in this forum who are staying for decades :-) even they will not leave whatever the hardships !! Learn from them..

I doubt whether you have much choice. There is no rent capping any more - although I'm not sure whether there is a cap on the amount a landlord can increase
