Tenant gone AWOL

[Kush Khandelwal]

Weird situation I find myself in. 

I'm a remote landlord and recently placed a new tenant at my SFR in Macon, GA in August. Conducted standard due diligence (credit scores, income verification, prior references) and I talked to her multiple times.

She moved in August 16 as agreed. She however has not paid me any rent. She did pay the security deposit when we signed the lease but did not pay last month or this month’s rent. I typically collect rent via Hemlane, which has worked quite well so far. 

I have attempted to call an email her multiple times to remind her, but to no avail. She’s totally ghosting me now. 

What are my options? Should I start an eviction process? Or is there  simpler way. I’m remote so this makes it all a little stressful.
