@Donna Brake Are they still paid up?

Lot's of good feedback here. I hate late paying tenants but I have found that in two situations I had tenants that paid late but always paid the late fee without complaint. Ultimately, that type of tenant is telling you they will gladly pay more if they can pay a little late. Those tenants worked out fine. The ones who don't pay or need eviction notices to scare them to pay are different in my opinion and you should look to get them out as quickly as possible

You can do what Nathan suggests, but I'd talk to them and ask why they are always late with the rent.  I had tenants once who got paid twice a month and found it easier to pay half on the 1st and half on the 15th, so that is what we did and after that they were never late.  If the tenants are otherwise good (ie take good care of the place), then that may be an option.  Once tenants loose that buffer in their bank account to pay on the 1st of each month, they are going to struggle to keep up.
