Had a buddy deal with this exact thing in Tempe last year. He went in person, was polite but firm, and asked the district manager to look at his payment history before the late one. They knocked the fee down to $25 since it was his first time, but they would not drop it all the way. The catch was he had to ask the manager, not the kid at the front desk, because the front desk can only say what the screen tells them. My advice is to call the main office and ask for a one time courtesy waiver, keep your cool, and mention you are a new tenant who plans to stay a while. Worst case they say no and you are out the same $115 you were already going to pay. Just do not let it sit too long, since some leases stack fees the longer it goes unpaid.

Ha, my grinder drifts so much I'd be pulling sink shots all day if I didn't weigh. I've got a hand grinder with settings that move on their own if I look at it wrong, so 18 grams one morning is 15.5 the next. That said, when I do go by feel on a lazy Sunday, some shots surprise me in a good way. Just don't ask me to repeat them on Monday.
