If you are arrested, meaning that a reasonable person would feel that he is not free to leave, a police officer must read you your Miranda rights IF he wishes question you and use your statements against you later. The police have no obligation to read you the Miranda rights if they do not wish to question you. The police can use things you say against you if you volunteer them without being asked.

I was arrested for trespassing. The person who had me arrested does not own the property. What is my best recourse?

A person reported you as a trespasser and the police arrested you for trespassing. Your best recourse is to contact the property owner and have them speak to the police and explain that you were permitted to be on the property and should not have been arrested. If the property owner would not have wanted you on the property, you are guilty of trespassing. If the police caught you redhanded, trespassing on the property, your best recourse is to plead no contest and be remorseful at your court appearance.
