Tenant Has Requested a Lease Renewal

Good morning, would appreciate some landlord input. 

I have a tenant, a young family, that I have sent a letter of non-renewal to effective April 1. 

I don't particularly dislike them, but I have received complaints about them from each of my other tenants (noise, parking, etc.). 

More importantly, they are not good at paying on time. They currently have an outstanding $565 utility bill from Q3 2016 with me that they still haven't paid. They have paid rent late 4 out of the 6 months I have owned the place. 

They called me last night asking for "one more chance" to make good on the outstanding bill, and that this will be the last time they pay late. They've asked that I offer them a renewal lease. 

I am torn between booting them and starting fresh, or offering them a very strict m2m and kick them out if they are late just one more time.
