make sure there is nothing of value in the house,
make sure you are covered with renter's insurance / on premise liability
make sure that the rent is high enough to discourage people looking for cheap to destroy
make sure that you understand that it could be trashed.

Make sure that you get ALL the rent up front, ALL the rent. . and make sure there is time to validate the form of payment as legitimate, check to clear, and not a credit card. . .
make sure you have a stiff penalty clause in the rental contract.

Make sure you validate that the person is the real person renting. .

Then you might have a better chance at a quality renter. . .
