Unresponsive inherited tenant

I have an inherited tenant with an existing lease through August 2016. I have personally introduce myself to the tenant, explained the new payment procedure (electronic only), provided and my contact info. The tenant seemed nice enough and was glad to have my info along with electronic payments (they previously had to drive 60 miles round trip to drop off payment). 

Since taking over the property on Nov 13, I have heard the following from the tenant:

1. Called the tenant to verify whether they were able to register for the tenant portal/electronic payments. And, conveniently the call was dropped and they couldn't call me back. They texted me a few times but then stopped responding.

2. Now, they have no internet despite promising that they would email me some forms two weeks ago.

3. Rent is now due in three days and they still have not registered for electronic payments.

My question is... can I go over to the rental unit to speak to them face to face without the 48 hour notice? I do not plan to go in but instead have them register for the tenant portal on my iPad and fill out some required forms outside.
