If by "she" you mean your mother-in-law, the answer is, yes, as the owner of this property and assuming
you have no oral lease or rental agreement with the understanding that the expenses you've referenced
are to serve as your rental amount, she could undertake legal procedures at the local general district
court to have you evicted from this property.
