A landlord cannot raise your rent after you get married unless your lease is up for renewal or must be restructured to add a mate to the lease. If this happens outside of these parameters, it is considered discrimination.

About the only way they could not raise your rent is if you had a long-term rental contract specifying the amount of rent and when it could be changed, or if you were in some kind of rent-control situation.
