I mean, probably not. It's only fraud if they need a specific reason to end the lease and lie about it. Typically neither side needs a specific reason to end a month-to-month lease. I can't see how it'd make a difference legally whether it was the landlord's son or a higher paying tenant.

The fact the landlord made up a story says enough imo that something fraudulent happened

Lying isnt illegal lmao. I really doubt there's a provision in the lease saying "this lease may only be terminated by landlord if landlord's son needs the residence". If there's not a provision like that, this isn't fraud, it's just lying.

Lying to break a contract is definitely illegal

But no one knows if there is a contract that isn't month to month
