signing lease for new tenant while its occupied

Hi

My current tenant (my first) is moving out after the lease ends in two months. They are great tenants and moving out because they bought a house and notified me well in advance.  They are also ok in letting me show the house. 

I am trying to rent out the house immediately after its vacated mainly because I am going out of town in a week after they move out. I wont return until after 5 months so if I don't get to rent it out right away I will at minimum loose out 6 weeks.

The house is kept in a good enough condition to show.  My question is if I get a qualified tenant who is willing to move in after 2 months, how do I make sure they don't change their mind later on.  Can I get a deposit to hold? would I be able to get into a lease agreement when there is already a tenant in there and obviously it has to be cleaned and inspected by the new tenant before they move in.

Appreciate your advice.

Thanks
