For those of you looking for a smart thermostat, Amazon has the Emerson Sensi on sale for $83.17 w/free shipping for Prime members.There are a lot of thermostats out there, but what makes the Sensi nice is that it doesn't require a "C" wire if you have A/C and heat.

A typical ducted central air system where there is a single system for multiple units has other downsides: 1. landlord pays the electricity for the AC (nothing else is really fair to tenants); 2. single thermostat (unless multi-zoned somehow); 3. air isn’t isolated among the units - the return air goes back to air handler from all units together - so the air from a coronavirus infected person isolating at home potentially spreads to all units.

Over the weekend tenant continued to send landlord pictures of thermostat and notices of how hot it is in the unit.

Not complaining about people referring one another to a CPA, just pointing out that by doing so, you just dodge the issue of you personally not knowing the answer.Nice try, you remind me of a good friend I went to college that hung out with our group.He's not a elegant speaker, and he's a particularly good programmer.

I wouldn't turn it off,  but I would raise it up to say 80.I have honeywell 9000 wifi thermostats so I can remotely adjust temperature.

This can be accomplished with a Nest thermostat or putting a locked cover over it. 

I use to be married to a woman that also graduated from college, was a computer programmer and was very frugal but cancer took her life at the end of September.
