Thanks for responding, guys. I'm going to call her tomorrow to see if I should pay the late fee. She didn't ask for it that's why I didn't bring it up with her. This has been gnawing at me all weekend. It sucks. It's like my mind is paralyzed by this one idea. My brother had sent me some money for Christmas so I can give her the $50 if she wants. Really, anything to keep the peace between us. I've lived in this apartment for seven years that's why I was so insulted by the way she talked to me. I'd never burn their house down.

FFFFFfffff*** that!

I wouldn't offer to pay the late fee. If they want it they can ask for it. Then if they did ask me for it I'd tell them no if I were you.

I also wouldn't bring it up. I'm sure that, if she wants to collect this late fee, she'll have no trouble telling you so. Whether you should pay it then depends on your contract. If it says so then yes. Otherwise no. How long you've lived in the house or what you and your landlord think of each other are irrelevant.

And no, I don't think it makes you a bad person to have an angry thought like that.

I wonder what happened to her holiday spirit?

Heh, yeah, she needs a visit from three ghosts, posthaste.

Sounds like a perfectly natural and normal reaction to me. To quote a well known German song "The thought is free".

If your pretty good at paying you rent on time consistently and you have one late payment once in a while then there is no reason for your landlord to cut you some slack. But if you're always late. Then I can't blame your landlord for being upset.

^ That's just the thing. In the whole seven + years I've lived here I was always on time with the rent. This was the first time.

THAT is why you shouldn't pay the late fee, even if you are contractually obligated.. you'd think the landlord would just say they're gonna let it slide in the first place since it's the first late payment in 7 years. Sounds like a jerk of a landlord for sure.
