The lease normally names all the people who will be living there.
Then, if anyone else moves in, the landlord has the right to say you are in violation of the lease and he can evict you if those other people don't leave.
With that in mind, what your landlord is doing is altering his side of the deal after you altered your side of it.
If you don't like the higher rent, move your family out and tell the landlord you are now only going to pay the amount you promised in the lease.

Can your landlord raise the rent if you decide not to renew?
no Answer #2. During a lease, the landlord cannot increase the rent. You are in a contract. Otherwise, speaking generally, the landlord has freedom to increase the rent. He typically owes you 30 days' notice. If you are not renewing, surely you will be out before any rent increase could take effect.

Can a landlord post a rent increase to a tenant who is in legal for eviction?
Landlord and tenant laws vary from state to state. Generally, if the lease has expired or one does not exist, a landlord may raise rent. If they are evicting the tenant for lack of rent payment or another violation of the lease, raising the rent at that time more than likely can be fought. A judge would consider that retaliation and would not award a landlord the excess to support a rate increase.
How much can a fl landlord increase annual rent?
Ten dolllars per year
When renting an apt which includes utilities can a landlord include in the lease a clause for rent increase if utility usage is excessive?
If you signed the contract with that clause and there are no local laws contradicting the contract, yes. Check the laws in your area to be sure. The landlord in some regions can only increase the rent once per year and by a certain percentage. In this case, the landlord (under a yearly lease) needs to give proper notice of rent increase, usually 90 days. If the utilities are included in the rent, then I believe the landlord would have to follow those rules.
Can a landlord end a lease early in order to increase the rent?

Is it illegal for your landlord to up your rent because your boyfriend moved in?
If you have a lease that states the rental to be paid, and does not list changes if others move in, then your landlord cannot increase your rent until it is time to renew the lease. If you have a lease that specifies more rent if more people live in the residence, then you have already agreed to the increase. If you have no lease, your landlord can change the rent at any time, for any reason, unless your local laws say otherwise.

Without a lease agreement can a landlord ask for last months rent?
Yes The rent is due until the day tenant returns keys and moves out with all their belongings. If you mean a last-month-rent deposit, then yes, the landlord can ask for one, and, if the tenant doesn't want to give one, the landlord can refuse to rent to them. It's always better (for everyone) to have the agreement in writing.
