Get rid of them NOW! They'll keep promising and promising and you'll forever be the pushover landlord. Post 14 day notice for eviction for non-payment of rent. Don't forget the two clear days (if you write the notice tonight, they have to be out by noon on Wednesday Feb. 10th).
Cross your fingers that they
a) actually leave
b) don't trash the place on the way out
Don't accept sob stories. Don't accept "I'll pay you on the 15th". Don't accept anything other than the rent, paid in full, every single month, on the last day of the month for next month.
Every time I've been lenient, I've been burned. Every single time.
