yes, he cant do that 'out of the blue'
1) if youre on a month-to month agreement:
Most likely, depending on what state you live in ... he would have to give you a 30-day or 60-day notice to add this fee. That would allow you sufficient time to decide if you want to keep living there, or find a different way to pay etc...
If you dont agree to the fee, you simply give 30-day notice of your own and be done with him
2) 12 month or similar lease
he cant make this change till the end of the lease period, if youre close to the lease period they could give you a 30 or 60 day notice for after the lease expires because
when the lease expires, it automatically converts to a month-to month so
see 1 if youre near the end of the lease
