I gave the tenant a 90-day notice for a guideline rent increase. A co-tenant moved out and wanted to be taken off the lease. A new lease was signed with the remaining tenant and now she is saying I can’t raise the rent for 1 year. Is that right?

You are still entitled to the rent increase in this case because this would not be considered a new tenancy. The tenancy continued and remains the same despite the fact that one of the tenants has moved out and she signed a new lease.
