No. A lease is a contract for a fixed period of time. A change of terms would require the approval of both parties (landlord and tenant). Some leases do contain a clause allowing the landlord to change the terms, but these are usually not true leases.
A modification of a lease, referred to as a lease amendment or lease modification, is a formal agreement that alters the initial terms and conditions of a lease. It provides a means for the involved parties to mutually agree on modifications without the need to create an entirely new lease agreement.
If the tenant continues on a month-to-month basis, the landlord can also make a change by giving a 30-day notice of change of terms of tenancy.

California's Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) regulates how much landlords can raise rent for their rental properties. This law puts a state-wide limit on rent so that annual increases don't exceed 5% plus the current rate of inflation, or 10% of the current rent—whichever is lower.
