Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York

Legal Fees

My landlord has just sent me a letter stating I owe them $1000 in legals fees for all the late payments of my rent. There is a $25 fee for late payments which I have paid every time I was late. I have review my lease and the only time I am required to pay legal fees is if we go to court in which we have not, therefore, what is my legal obligation and how should I handle this request
