Rent Increase in Oakland for Former Section 8 Tenant

One of my Section 8 tenants in Oakland is no longer receiving the Section 8 subsidy.  She was leased the unit with a Section 8 voucher.    The rent is significantly under market (30% or more) and I would like to increase the rent 10 to 20%.  Can I notify Section 8 and increase the rent beyond the City's Rent Control Ordinance because the unit was leased as a Section 8 unit even though she no longer receives a rent subsidy from Section?

Thank you.
