My nzame is jennifer. My roomates want us to give them more money every month. We pay our rent on time, now they want us to give them more money for last month, more money this month. If wre dont give them more 164.00 more . this month they want us out the house. Is it legal for them to do that to us?

If you don't have a lease, you don't have the security of stable housing. They can give you proper notice to change any terms like the rent amount, or give you a 30 day notice to vacate whenever they like. They cannot make any rent increase retroactive (asking for a previous month), but can give notice to raise it for the next month.

Why do I have a feeling that this has to do with utilities and not actually rent? That would be a very odd amount to raise the rent.
