Tenant skipped town without notice

Hi my tenant skipped town in the last couple days without notice and hasnt paid rent. In georgia the landlord tenant laws seem to say i can go to court and charge them for the remainder of their lease....

also i am not in town so do i need to get a attorney? Or should i wait till i get back in a month?

also, obviously ill win but how do i get the money....garnish wages? I dont know wherr he works....

i can get the summons to court sent to his parents house which is the addrrss on his drivers license..


Somebody in georgia must have dealt with this before....please advise.
