I would imagine many, if not most, people's leases don't allow them to rent their places out. You see many listings that require discretion regarding entry, particularity as to where to park on the street, and forbid talking with neighbors.

NYC might be an exception as it seems like subletting is a big thing there.

Almost all full-space(that is, not staying in an extra bedroom while the owner is present) air bnb units in NYC are illegal. Subletting is usually legal, unless stated in your lease, but there are laws against short term stays(< 30 days).
