Aye, it is indeed frustrating to be out of control your finances only to be at the wrong end of the consequences. I still think that it wouldn't to apologize for snapping at him (if you actually did snap at him), even if he was being a dick. Unfortunately, the only thing that can be done is waiting. Even the landlord can see that even though you were short, it's less short than the month before and you'll be able to pay off all the rent soon enough.
