Avoiding Foundation Issues with Sprinkers?

[Account Closed]

I'm currently living in a new-build home that I may be putting up for rent in a few months. One concern I have is that if tenants never water the lawn, there may be foundation issues at some point in the future. 

First solution that comes to mind is to install a sprinkler system, but of-course there is no guarantee that tenants will use it. I could install a WiFi system and lock the control box, so only I can control it from my phone (so that tenants will have no choice but to water the lawn) but I could see tenants getting upset due to high water bills.

This is solely about mitigating foundation issues for me, not about keeping a nice looking lawn. This is not an upscale neighborhood, plenty of people have average lawns, and the cost of re-sodding when it is time to sell is not that bad. Only goal is to avoid expensive foundation problems. What are you all doing in these situations?

The foundation could also settle with excess moisture. If this is new construction, the foundation shouldn't be a worry. If it is a concern then maybe you shouldn't have bought in that area.
