That drop in temperature isn't just reducing the sensible temperature 15 F degrees. Reducing the temperature of the air will require a latent heat change when removing moisture from the air.
Condensing moisture from the air on the coil is a huge load on an A/C system.

Put a smart stat in so you can monitor what the tenant is setting heat and a/c setpoints at.
With many programmable stats, you can install setpoint limits that cannot be exceeded high or low.

Some people treat thermostats like a gas pedal. They think the further above or below setpoint they are set, the quicker they will get to the desired temperature.
