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.

What right does a tenant have over the landlord when the tenant uses his money to complete work in his rented apartment with verbal authorization from landlord?
that anything you do with the landlord, even if he's a family member, should be done in writing. Verbal agreements are generally not binding in a court of law. If you are living under a verbal agreement with your landlord, then the fact that he is accepting your money for rent is legal binding for your right to stay there. As such, there are rules that he must follow if he wants to increase the rent or change any terms of the agreement between you and him. For example, for an increase of the rent to landlord must give you at least a 30 day notice, if the rent is month-to-month, before the next rent is due, that such rent will increase. Now, to answer your question, a tenant does not have any rights over the landlord regarding work done on the property at his own expense. If you, the tenant, perform certain work on the property with verbal authorization from your landlord, then the best you can do is sue the landlord if he doesn't pay you back. Any home improvements done on rental property cannot be reversed if the tenant later decides to move out. For example, if you, the tenant, decide to install a ceiling fan into your bedroom where there was no ceiling fan in the first place, then the ceiling fan becomes part of the property and you cannot remove it before you move out. If you ever have a gut feeling about your landlord, that it's up to you to protect yourself getting whatever you can in writing.
