Q: I pay lot rent and own the title to my trailer she raised the Rent on Jan11-21
She raised the rent from 396 to 764 can she kick me out come February
A:
If you own a mobile home and rent a lot in a mobile home park you are not in a traditional landlord/tenant relationship, rather you are a mobile home park tenant and special rules apply to you. Some of the special rules provide for circumstances permitting eviction such as "just cause". If your lease expired, a jump from $396 to $764 could be considered an excessive increase designed to evict you and might be grounds to defend an eviction.
It is difficult to find tenant representation, and even more difficult to find a lawyer with mobile home park experience. Your concern might also implicate certain Covid19 protections. So I suggest you contact the Lawyer Referral Service from the State Bar of Michigan to obtain a referral with experience assisting tenants of mobile home parks.
There might be a few self help resources you can use to learn about your rights and ask more specific questions once you are connected with an attorney.
