writ of posession 2nd in 12 months question

In Georgia, an extremely landlord friendly state, we are only required to file a writ of possession once every 12 months.  I filed for one last month and the tenant paid up the night before the scheduled eviction.  Again this month she is late.  What do I need to tell the magistrate clerk in order to jump past the dispossessory writ and get straight in the writ of possession?  Any tips or anything I need to know.  Thanks.

Replied

The writ has an expiration date so dbl check what that is.  

Sounds like the judgement states that if she pays, she is good so everything resets.

You don't have to accept late rent now though so you can refile and get her out and not  repeat the cycle
