So I have a general rule with tenants 2 srikes and your out - as in "I’ll pay on the 6th" (insert excuse) "oh I’ll pay the 15th" (insert excuse ), if 16th comes along and rent isn't paid then I evict . What’s everyone s experience and advice with these issues ??

If they don't pay after the 3 day grace period a 3 day notice is the next step, excuses shouldn't matter, it is easier to distance yourself emotionally with a PM

I'd do it after the 2nd time if its the same month. If they are repeat offenders a couple days late, late fees suffice for me. 15 days late twice, move out.
I had this happen recently (Ill pay by the 5th...Ill pay by the 12th...) I felt something was up so rather than go to court I told her is she was out by the end of the month and left the place immaculate I wouldn't file for eviction. Any damage or I didn't get the keys back by 11:59 on the 31st and I would file. Better than "cash for keys." I call it, "Get the hell out and I won't ruin your credit" lol
