Carefully read your existing lease, which likely says it converts to month-to-month after the initial lease term expires - so no, you do not need to worry about being booted.
Definitely check your local and state ordinances regarding rent increases, in many areas the amount of the increase is capped at a specific percentage %.
Once you have this information, you will confidently have a better idea how you would like to proceed.
Are you in Houston by some chance....This exact thing happened to me a few months ago. I did go into talk to them yes they did increase the rent, I told him I can't afford the rent increase, to my face they said just keep paying what you been paying and will try to accommodate that. But on paper behind the scenes, not only did the management change but the ownership changed and the new owners were not as laid back is the previous owners, and 6 months down the road I ended up getting in a whole lot of trouble with the office which block me off the portal to pay the rent completely, they refused to take my rent in person either they just stop stop taking all my rent and started eviction proceeding saying that I've been ripping them off every month. This is a scenario you can walk into and it's not that great.
They will set you to month to month rent after your current lease. It will be outrageous expensive. Go talk to them now.
I would personally speak up (and document via email as a follow up) and if they hit you with an increase I would barter
