There are some problems in being a landlord that do need considering before you go ahead. A number of problems have happened with people I know who have rented out houses. The worst problem was the family who hired a van and cleared out everything from the house. (Check possible tenants carefully is the answer.) Then there were the tenants who agreed to rent for 6 months and then left after two months when their relationship broke up, so leading to a further arrangement fee from the management company. A further problem is the tenant who is always on the phone with a complaint. There are other things to think about.
Some people will find it very stressful to have strangers in their house, and become anxious about their furnishings and equipment being looked after. If this is so it would be better to remove all items that are breakable, have a high replacement value or sentimental value. Potential renters can handle all the issues themselves, that is, personally be a landlord, or they can have a company to manage the rental for them, find tenants. The latter option obviously costs but takes a lot of stress and problems which will be important to some. Potential renters should take advice from experienced agencies in the field before taking a decision.
