Tenant has moved out without paying rent.

[Garrett Knecht]

I have a tenant in Connecticut on a month-to-month lease who notified me a week ago (around mid-March) that she is moving out. She hasn't paid rent for March and the month-to-month lease requires a 30 day notification policy prior to termination so technically, she owes rent for April as well. I was going to use her security deposit to cover March's rent until I saw her unit. Her dogs destroyed the porch. The dogs urinated all over the floor and I will have to tear up and replace the floors, sheetrock, etc. 

What are my options here? Is it worth small claims court? I do not know where she moved to so I have no way of contacting her other than via phone.
