[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 557200"] If you've lived there for a long time and have NEVER been late before, simply tell him the truth. You had a short paycheck and you had to decide between rent and utilities and decided that the utility company would be less willing to work with you. Tell him EXACTLY when you will pay it and how much (including any late fees specified in your lease), then apologize (sounding as remorseful as you just did here) and tell him it won't happen again. Most landlords won't have a problem if the tenant has a good history and just hit a snag that is GUARANTEED to be fixed soon. It will cost him more to evict you than I'm sure he's willing to pay if you're just a little late this ONE time. Good luck. Yea, avoiding him will only tick him off and that would NOT be good.
