Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Arizona

I am being evicted for non payment of rent I had my rent in on time but did not include a pet deposit I owe with the rent check. They would not accept my payment saying it was not in full and now want all the late charges. I told them I would not pay late charges because these are two different charges Can they do this. Should I take this too the judge
