My son rented his property and had a local estate agent manage it for him. They vetted the tenants, and my son made certain provisos (non smokers, no dss, no pets). For him all went well, the tenants stayed for around 2 years. They signed a short term (6mths) tenancy agreement, then monthly agreements after that.
The agent checked the property about once every 4 months or so (by appointment with tenants) to make sure all was ok.
My son paid approx 10% of the rent in agent fees.
