It depends if you are already late or in the process of getting Evicted. IF you are current on your rent payments and the Landlord denies your rent payment. He/She must give you an explanation to why. If they don't then yes they are breaking the lease agreement because they are required to collect the rent money from you and they are not allowed to make you late either which is completely illegal

An eviction definitely! With a broken lease, you are still paying your landlord the rent that you own him and will probably be paying a fee to break the lease.

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.
