Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

one bad tenant of three

i have a lease with three tenants at one location.they share the property jointly and pay a cumulitive sum of $1275.00 per month. one tenant has skipped out but the others want to stay. question: how do i get my in full each month? do i let the others stay at $425.00 each or are they liable for the full $1275.00? is it their responsibility to retreive the other third or do i sue the derelict roommate for the other third? should i not take any partial payments? this is the worst time of year to have the house go vacant. thanks,any advice will help.
