Should I evict my tenant for always being late?

[John Etisarapamai]

I have a tenant who regularly makes rent late. She tells me she can't make rent all the time because of her mother's hospitable bills and she lives paycheck to paycheck with her kids, but I feel like thats not a good excuse to ALWAYS be late on rent. Should I feel bad about kicking her out? What should I do?

@John Etisarapamai There is almost always an excepion to the rule and as the property owner it is always your discretion but I would say late fees and then eviction. She should be able to understand that it would be inexcusable for her employer to pay her late so why is it ok for her to pay you late. Once is forgivable, twice is questionsable, three times is a pattern.
