It can, usually such things are covered in your lease and generally there is some protection in how much it can go up. Some states have laws regarding rent increase.
Sometimes landlords will up the price if they get a lot of application for tenants. If you and the landlord haven't both signed the lease agreement then its still legal for changes to be made. Leases can also be amended, though usually this requires the tenant's agreement.

Do I have to pay the difference in my last months rent if my rent has gone up?
Confusing query; rent cannot go up during the lease.
If the landlord sends a certified letter stating the rent will go up starting next month is that legally binding and do i have to pay the increase?
It depends on if you have a lease. If you rent month-to-month, then he is complying with the law and you will have to pay the new rent. If you have an annual lease, that lease will specify whether he can raise it, and by now much. If it doesn't specify, he can raise it at the end of the lease date. Your town or state may have rent control laws, however. Call the town housing/building department and ask.
