Programmable thermostats have existed for a long time and it's easy to find internet enabled ones these days.

The problem is that you're renting so you can't do any cool home automation stuff.

thermostats are trivial to change if you have any electronics or handy skills, just don't put new holes in the wall that aren't hidden by the mount plate if you're renting. It's basically like replacing the shower head while renting.
