Late rent, special circumstances,WWYD

[Rohan Soltau]

One of my tenants who is running a room is late for the second time in a row, essentially the whole time she has been there. She hasn't paid on time since she's been there, she's late already and says she'll have it by the weekend. Then she says her mother was in the hospital and that's was why and now she wants two more weeks to pay in payments. I really can't afford to not collect rent so I don't want to evict her. I'm really not sure how to move forward with this, any ideas?
