tenant moved out, not paying after damage repairs

Our tenant recently moved out. She didn't pay the last month's rent. 

So after damage repairs, she owes us close to $3000 after deducting from security deposit. 

What should I do in this case in California?

I see in other posts that go to court for small claims. Or hire a lawyer. 

Or just move on because it might not worth the pursue. 

Any advice or suggestion here? Thank you.

File in small claims, be excited they didn’t stay without paying for months or force you to pay relocation fees.
