A friend has done this once (went for 4 weeks to France where he & wife rented a cheap gite out in the countryside) and rented his home to a couple that was doing a home renovation. The renters didn’t want to be living at home during the worst of the construction. My friend found the tenants through the contractor, who mentioned the job
Anyway, this friend liked the experience so much he and his wife will be doing it again later this summer. Renting a cheap place for a month in the country in Italy, and renting out his house to a family doing a big home remodeling project. .
