More details to this question:
I'm 3 days late on rent and all of a sudden there's a notice on my door saying theres a 20% late fee with no prior notice of it. It's not in the current rules and regulations. There is no lease agreement. Just the application I filled out and was approved for to move into the park in March of 2023. The park rules were last updated in March of 2024.

If not provided in the lease or the park rules/prospectus - likely no. That said - be wary of picking fights over nominal amoutns of money when you are in the wrong. It is very expensive to fight with landlords over issues that can be avoided by simple compliance.
