I'm going to try living somewhere else but I don't want to sell because I really like the home and I may come back.

I don't know the first thing about the logistics here. What do I put on a rental application? What should I (or can I) ask the prospective tenants?

I want a one year lease in place. Do I have to get a notary to write up a lease or is there some kind of standard template? How specific should I make it?

I wasn't really ready for the dozen hits off craigslist in 8 hours. I thought I would get some time to prepare before I got this interest.

I don't think I'm going to use a real estate service. I think I can handle this on my own without the 10% fee.
