Landlord to deduct 10% of the rent amount for previous year
Hi,
I am staying in a rented house for last 22 months.Now I have decided to vacant the house.(After serving 3 months notice as per agreement)
Last year, that is, completion of 11 months, my landlord has not informed us to raise 10% of the rent.
Now, while vacating the house, they want to deduct that 10% of the rent amount from our deposit money.
As per the agreement, mention below:
"The duration of Rental agreement shall be for a period of 11(Eleven) Months commencing from [deleted], after the expiry of the tenancy period there would be a hike of 10% in the rent in case the Tenants desire to continue in the same premises upon such terms and conditions as the parties mutually agrees."
Want to know, do we have to agree on this?
Please suggest.
Thanks.

What does this mean?
I have stayed in the premises for 24 months and landlord had never asked to hike 10%.
What it relates to the above agreement?
Does it mean that while vacating the house, the amount will deducted from deposit money.
OR if NOT,
There would have been a new agreement between us.
OR if NOT,
They have asked to hike 10% on the 11th month, and we don't have agreed to that. And would have vacant the house earlier, so they didn't inform us before. - adding to this, this looks like some kind of cheating, and want to know, do we have any law for this. and where can I seek for justice? And can ask for help.
Mr. Kiran N. Murthy. - will like to know from you, after completion of 11 months, landlord has collected 13 more rents without any information of hike. Now next 11 has also passed, so if we have stayed for another sometime, We would have to pay the next hike of 10% to the landlord without any further notice on 10% hike. How fair is this?
Thanks for help...
