Are you limiting rights through the transaction as a sort of contract or doing so through government enforcement of all people? If the former case, then option 2 does appear to be the best option. If the latter, then option 2 appears to be worse than option 1.

Its a bit grayer than that. In this case generally it is option 1 (transaction contract when the key is originally given or sold). But then a third party comes in and makes a marketplace out of people breaking their contract and how you deal with THAT.

Its basically the Airbnb scenario.
