Rent increase during state of emergency

Hello all. Recently I acquired my first duplex house hack here in Sacramento, CA. My current tenant was paying way below market rent, but do to the state of emergency I’m only able to raise rent %10. Now the previous lease agreement was at $950 per month with utilities paid by landlord. My question is if I can legally raise rent 10% to $1,045 but also include a utilities charge on the new lease agreement? Or would the utilities be included in the 10% making me only legally able to raise rent to $1,045 and pay utilities myself? I appreciate any insight. Thank you.
