How soon do you evict?

It appears I may not have selected great tenants my first time around. They paid a security deposit + prorated rent for August, but about 9/3 the payment still hadn't gone through on Cozy. So I texted to make sure there were no issues with the payment system. They said, "No issues, one of their direct deposits didn't go through so they were having to pick it up in person." Got a call, maybe the next day, for one of them saying that the church he works for has fired their "minister of finance," and there were some issues writing people their checks. 

I think 9/6 (my birthday!) I went and delivered a courtesy late rent notice, saying that the $100 late fee just applied and every day from here on out $20 will apply. They said the church is having an emergency meeting, and hope it will work out soon. 

His income from the church is supposedly 41% of their income, and they rented a house for 5 years for $1400/mo previous to this one, which is $925/mo. 

I'm thinking I'll give them a pay or vacate notice the 15th. Sound right?

Thanks. :(
