Minnesota AG's website states:Late FeesThe rent must be paid on the date it is due. When a tenant is late in paying rent, the landlord has the legal right to start eviction proceedings.

Can your landlord charge you a 150 a day late fee?
Probably not. Whether any late fee can be charged depends on your state's laws, but excessive late fees are disallowed in almost every state. A fee as high as yours might even be usury (an illegally high interest rate). The states that do address late fees in their laws usually require that the late fee be agreed to in writing at the beginning of the tenancy. You might consider writing the landlord a letter stating that you are not paying the late fee, and just keep paying the rent. Bear in mind, however, most states allow a landlord to evict a tenant for being late with the rent repeatedly. In Massachusetts, you can be evicted for being late twice in twelve months.
