Moral dilemma on eviction

[Mary Jay]

Hi guys,

I did an eviction today on one of my properties and the judge ordered the tenant to leave my property by April 3rd. The tenant owes me 5K in rent.

Should I send this to a collection?

I am a Christian, the Bible says: "Forgive those who owe you" and I feel bad for the tenant, she does have 4 adult kids though who lived with her. (One adult daughter said she gave the money to the tenant for rent but the tenant still did not give me the money. May be she did though, and thats what have covered her half rent for February, but she still owe me the second half of February rent and the MArch rent)..

I feel so bad for her, she is not a bad person, I already did an eviction which is damaging, the collection will damage her credit even worse...

 But she owes me  5K and it is a lot of money. 

What would you do?

Would you send it to collection?
