Unless you have a roommate agreement or if the lease that you have with your landlord states the number of people allowed to inhabit the unit you are renting, it would appear that your roomate can allow her son to move into the home you occupy over your objections.
If the son moves in, then your monthly rent should be a third of the total instead of one half.
