Landlords cannot arbitrarily demand extra money unless agreed in the contract. Check your rental agreement terms. If there is no clause about this, his demand is unfair. Politely refuse and record conversations if needed. If he threatens eviction, you can file a complaint with the Rent Control Authority or local police.
