This is dependant on the rental agreement. IF the rental agreement charges by the person then they may be able to charge extra for a child. Since the child is a minor, then most likely the lease is per time period and property size and NOT the addition of a child. Most rental agreements indicate that you cannot sublease or subrent to a second party outside the original parties involved in the lease BUT since the baby is NOT a new renter then this is bad attempt to extort money from the renter.

Tenants right if lease has expired and landlord wants to raise the rent?

The landlord may not raise the rent during the lease but after it expires, that's different. Many areas have rent control so check for that first. If there is, then the increase should be within that limit or else you can appeal to the Rent Control Board. If there is no rent control, then the landlord may be free to raise it as much as he wants. If he's asking more than it's worth, move.


Is it legal for a landlord to raise your rent on an oral month to month bases if your rent was 500 and he wants to raise it to 950?

Firstly, some areas have rent control. Contact your local Department of Housing to find out. Even without rent control, there are probably laws in your area about how a landlord can raise the rent. It probably must be in writing. It probably must be with 30 days' notice (or more). The fact it is oral doesn't mean he can raise the rent orally.
