It may not be OK with your state to restrict access to the thermostat.  Tenants have a right to a comfortable environment and their comfort level might not always match yours.  But you could get a thermostat where you can restrict the maximum highs and lows of the unit to make sure they don't exceed those thresholds.  A lot of thermostats do this, including the Nest stats I believe.
