Only if there is wording in the contract which permits this, or if the law in your state permits certain changes without mutual consent. Otherwise, by tampering with the contract your landlord may have voided the entire agreement. You should probably check with a real estate or civil attorney.

Can a landlord make you pay court cost if the landlord lost the eviction?
no. don't pay anything if you haven't signed anything saying you are going to pay (contract) it or a judge orders you to pay it.
If a tenant hasn't signed a contract and on day of moving in landlord changes mind where does he stand?
First of all, you don't move into a home until the landlord actually gives it to you, which is hallmarked by the passing over of the key(s). Once you have the key, you have the property or unit in your hand. Usually you are not given the key unless you and the landlord have signed the lease or contract and you have worked out the move-in costs, such as the rent and security deposit. That being said, the landlord could change his mind if he hasn't given you the key(s). If you paid everything beforehand the landlord then must return the money to you. If no money changed hands and no keys changed hands, then nothing has changed-- so get back into your moving truck and go somewhere else!
How many days should a landlord give you after you sign a contract to decide if you don't want to rent the house?
None. Once the lease is signed, it is binding.
Can your landlord raise your rent if you're on workman'scompensation?
More than likely yes. It all depend on the contract / renter agreement you signed. If the contract reads that the landlord can raise the rent at any given time then yes.If the contract reads the landlord can raise rent at the end of a lease term (for example 6 months.) then also yes.Unless the agreement states the landlord cannot raise rent 1. during a lease period, or 2. at all then he can raise it regardless of your income situation.You may try and talk to your landlord and explain the situation and they might have some compassion for your situation.
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.

No. A lease is a legally binding contract, which obligates both the landlord and tenant to a tenancy for the term of the lease. If you and the landlord both signed a lease, and the landlord refuses to give you occupancy of the property, you need to see a landlord-tenant attorney or tenant's rights group immediately!

Can a landlord cancel the lease agreement after it has been signed by both parties and the deposit has been paid?
Most lease contracts have a clause that reserves the landlord's right to cancel the agreement if certain conditions are met. If you believe your contract does not support that right, then the landlord may be violating the terms of the agreement. The only way to know for sure is to study the contract, or hire the services of a lawyer to help interpret the contract.
