Landlord wants to raise rent mid-lease, what are my rights?

I recently signed a one-year lease, but my landlord is now saying they want to raise the rent due to 'increased costs.' Has anyone been through this? I'm not sure if this is even legal, and I'm anxious about potential retaliation. What should I do? Looking for advice on my rights and options.
