My mid-term renter has not showed up. Do I cancel the lease?

Hi-

I have a house that I rent out by the room, and usually a couple of those rooms stay full with travel nurses. I have a RN who paid the application fee, and paid the cleaning fee and security deposit and prorated rent for April (one day, move in was the 30th), but then did not show up. She has not paid May rent, as it was not due until May 1. The other tenants say they have not seen her. I have called, texted, messaged on FF, and emailed her, all without a response.  She did sign a 3 month lease (I require this of everyone). Am I obligated to keep the room for her for 3 months in case she comes? Should I assume she is not coming and re-list the room? Never had a tenant no show, especially after paying some of the fees in advance. Any advice on how to proceed? One of the tenants in a small room would like to move to the room she had rented as it is much larger....
