Landlord wants to manage thermostat

[David Wilson]

There is a smart thermostat in the house I am renting.  My landlord would like me to connect the thermostat to my WiFi so that he has access through the nest app to the thermostat.  He hasn't mentioned wanting to actively control it, though it is annoying to me that he wants to check up on me and he hasn't always been reasonable with me in the past, so I am wary of giving him the ability.  Beyond that, I pay all utilities, don't set the thermostat to weird temperatures that are outside what folks would consider reasonable (in the summer, 70-74 when home), and I treat the house very well.  The lease is silent on this.  Can anyone think of a scenario where I would be required to do this?  Maintaining a good relationship is important to me, but I would appreciate any off-the-cuff advice and would like to know if I could be required some how.  Thanks!
