Yaj,
Look in your local Sunday paper under houses for rent/lease. You will see agencies that specialize in this type of thing. Call them and go from there. A word of advice, make sure you understand how they deal with and charge for repairs. This is often a bone of contention and unless you are close by and handy with basic home repairs you could incur additional costs. I had a kitchen sink faucet that was leaking. I call a property maintenance company and they sent out a journeyman plumber, that didn't even have basic supply parts like faucet washers, couldn't find the right ones at HD, and ended up having to have them replace the faucet. Cost of parts plus union wage for the install. Ran about $500 as I recall. Just something to be aware of and clarify before you step into this situation.
Good luck!
