Tenant's Broke Up........

So I recently purchased my first SFR and everything has been going great, for the last 5 months or so and things are still going well. However this last month the tenant paid all but $90 dollars of the rent. I thought it may have been a typo because of the number, so I texted to see if there was something wrong. She mentioned her and her fiancé had a rough financial month and I would get the remainder shortly. Which I did and it was before the 1st so all good.

Well today I decided to check out their Facebook profiles and saw that they are no longer together.  One is working 2 hours away and according to her profile she moved (she was the main source of income).  I believe the guy is still living in the house because his job is close by. (Substitute teacher)

So I guess I'm wondering how I should handle this?   Also this may be helpful in determining the advice you provide, this is a pretty low cost of living area so rent isn't crazy high and she is a new veterinarian and according to her previous employer she makes really good money and easily makes 3x the rent.

Thanks for your help!!
