Do not call the landlord, but instead write a letter to him telling him it is illegal to unilaterally increase rent without discussing it with you and that the said 15days notice is illegal and void and that if he refuses to abide you will seek for redress to enforce your right at the court and seek for damages too. make sure he acknowledge a photocopy of the letter.
