I managed to pay all back rent because of state assistance and was almost c ol completely clear until my landlord decided to raise rent for the month to month from 2k to 8k! How am I supposed to make that monthly payment? Is that even legal??

The LL can raise MTM rent to any rate they want. You either pay it or move out elsewhere. Its obvious the LL is not interest in renting to you for some reason, or thinks they can get 8k a month as rent.
