Try to work out a compromise, but if all efforts to settle fail. Just leave the premises at the end of your rent tenure.

Although, nobody would dictate to a landlord on when and level of increment, but if the increment is seen to be unfair or unreasonably high, you have the right to challenge it in court for reduction.
