STR with garage door opener: how to automate?

Hello, all! We are purchasing an STR with a garage that comes with one remote. I'm concerned that a renter might accidentally take a remote home with them. Please share ideas on how to solve this issue. We are fine with allowing them to use the garage, but don't want to lose the remote....

Yes, keypad is the easiest and I have only had one person ever leave with the garage remote and they mailed it right back.  Additionally, you can covert most any newer model opener with a system like this to be able to control via app on your phone.
