Can I charge a mortgage company rent?
My mobile home got repo’d. The mortgage company took it over on May 12th. The
mortgage company still didn’t remove it from the land, which I own. Can I charge
them a daily ‘lot rent’, and if so, about how much per day?

No, you can't charge rent without an agreement that they will pay rent. They have no obligation to pay unless there was an agreement or lease or contract to do so. What you can do is bring a kind of legal action traditionally called an action "for ejectment" (your state may have a different name for it) to force them to remove the home from your land. You would bring this action in county court.
