When Your Rent is $35K, Your Late Fee is $2K

And you thought your monthly rent was high...
TMZ has gotten their hands on some paperwork form Love Shack Trust sent to Britney Spears over her Malibu rental home. Says TMZ:
"The documents, dated February 14, states that Brit was more than two weeks late in paying her $35,000-a-month rent. A $2,100 late charged kicked in, which was not paid. The documents state that Love Shack must either pay up or "surrender and deliver up possession of said Premises..."
And that's not even Britney's current home. She spends her time in Studio City these days.
