Renting a home with nest cameras, thermostat, and doorbell

I'm about to rent my home which has 2 nest outdoor sercurity cameras with flood light, 1 hardwired nest doorbell, and a nest thermostat.  I'm wondering, is there anyway for me to give the tenant access to all these without giving up my ownership?  What if it's a problem tenant or just not a tech savvy tenant and they do not return it to me or whatnot?  The seucrity cameras are high up near the roof and I believe I would need to get up on a ladder to scan the QR code on the back of them to set it up again.. how does all this work?  

Feature request assuming it doesn't exist would be the ability to turn over access / permissions to someone else while retaining 'superuser' control and the ability to revert the access/permissions back to my account through the app for this type of scenario.. If I have new tenants every 1 or 2 years or for someone running an airbnb etc. this would be super useful.

The only option Google Nest provides is to add your tenant to your Google Nest "home/structure" but that gives them full access to everything.

Hi there, 

I can imagine it has been an inconvenience, and I would love to look into this further for you. User @MplsCustomer is correct, you can only share access with them, but it would be full access. 

Best regards,
