One summer when I was young and stupid, my wife and i went on vacation in the middle of summer for a week. Big mistake, we came home to our candles melted all over our tables and the inside of our house at 120 degrees.
I would never do that anymore, but would instead turn it up to 85 or 87. I would be concerned about my electronics now days. I have a server and several computers. They are cooled by the house A/C and a small set of fans. We set it to 80 or 82 when not home during the day and 76 or 77 when home. For extended away times I set up additional fans for the server only and shut other computers off.
Arizona summers can be brutal and there is no telling how hot a house may get if they shut your A/C off for a period of time. If they were to give us the option of allowing them to bump up the temp to 85 during peak times and not allowing the temp to go above that, it may be an option I would consider.
