You could get an agent to manage the rental for you which means they take a percentage monthly, or they will do it for a finders fee only (usually a months rent ish), and you do the rest. As with other things some agents will look after you whilst others will just take the money.
You could do it yourself, you should be able to find a decent contract on the internet, make sure you get a good deposit, about a month and a halfs rent, and a months payment upfront.
Some tenants are great, some are terrible, luck of the draw and a little research is necessary
