Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

I received a notice of rent increased(effective on Jan 1, 2016) today per California civil code section 827 however I have a year contract (6/15-6/16), does civil code 827 still apply my year to year contract?

Your prompt reply will be much appreciated.
