I do definately go thru with eviction proceedings if it gets to that level the problem is with residents who pay, but pay late every single month, ex. the 10th. But I need to figure out a way to get these people to pay ON THE 1st, when rent is due. Different approaches as opposed to notices going out.

Write any new leases to have the late charge on the second. Read the leases you have now and if they have late charges make sure you collect them. They may not get paid until the 5th or 10th but that isn't the landlord's problem.
If you file eviction make sure you bill them for the cost as well as late rent and penalties. Next time they might figure out how to pay rent on time. Never give them a break or be understanding it is the beginning of the slippery slope.

If you really like the tenents and you don't have any trouble with them other than this, maybe you could just change the due date to the tenth. It might be that they simply don't have the money until that time.
Like I said, you could do this IF they're good tenents otherwise and you don't have any other issues with them. Changing the due date would not hurt those who do pay on time any, and it would give the ones who are always late a little relief.

What our friends did, was to impose a $ amount per day as a late fee, but you will have to notify them in writing before you do this.
It really worked for our friends, they imposed a $5 PER DAY fee.
