$200 late fee on $2000/month rent

This amount seems very unreasonable to me. That’s 10% of my rent. 5% seems much more reasonable. I’ve lived here for 2 years and have never been late with rent but somehow I totally spaced making my payment until 5 days after rent was due.

UPDATE: I took some of ya’lls advice and emailed property management and got the fee waived! Thanks for all of the help :)

Do you think that if I wanted to live in a motorhome, then I would? Ever think there might be people out there that want to live in a nice place that feels secure?

You buy a motorhome, live frugaly, buy property, live in your motorhome on that property, build your house.

Or spend $2000+ a month that buys you nothing, where is the SECURITY in that??

Nope. My living situation is extremely important to me. I want to be comfortable and happy. I have absolutely no way to buy an entire motorhome, let alone property or building a house. Never would live in a motorhome unless I had no choice. I lived in one half of my childhood and I absolutely hated it. So no. Also never asked for your advice on my rent and other options.

Show me where I cried about rent? Please show me an exact quote. I included my rent amount because I figured it would give people context for the late fee amount. The entire point of my post is to get other people’s opinion on the late fee amount because I was curious if it seemed unreasonably high to anyone else. Also, how tf is asking people’s opinion “BS”?? And YOU didn’t ask?? This is MY post. Don’t come on MY post replying some BS that is completely unrelated to my question.

This is MYYYYY post... LOL.

Shaddap, once you wrote your crappy post on reddit, it belongs to reddit.

Enjoy pissing your life away paying rent. How many hours do you work to pay that $2,000? Btw, rents going up, enjoy.

How in the world was it crappy? Asking people’s opinion on a simple topic is crappy now? People can’t have discussions about it?

And yes I will enjoy living comfortably in the apartment that I love. It’s well worth the money to me. Everyone values things differently and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. You don’t value it, but there’s no reason to come at me just because I live my life differently than you would.
