There is an argument that you're allowed to have a stable set of neighbors. We made it and codified it into law which says that you can't do short term rentals within long term rental units. Even if your lease says it's ok, it's still against the law. That's why all those whole unit apartment rentals you see in NYC are illegal unless the person offering it has a bed and breakfast license for the space. AirBnB won't tell you that your rental is illegal even though they know it is. The illegal whole apartment rentals is how they get most of their revenue in NYC.
