Do landlord usually care? It usually complaints from the neighbours that I hear about.

I think landlords don't want their neighbors complaining and this is to help prevent that

  Especially if you're not the landlord and the actual landlord doesn't know you're subletting the apartment in violation of your lease contract.

  or, the house is somewhat isolated or your neighbors are frequently away and you don't have any other way of knowing.

  My wife and I use AirBNB a lot (for holidays, not drug-fueled orgies unfortunately) and have lots of positive reviews against our names. I know if I ran an AirBNB I'd only accept bookings from guests with a history of positive reviews.

    For sure! That should prevent almost all issues.

    And here is why I can't seem to get AirBnB to work for me. Along with most people refusing pets. I travel with my dog a lot. She's AKC Good Citizen certified. Though that doesn't often mean much, it at least indicates I put up the money and time to try to signal that I do care about how my dog behaves. The problem is I don't have any reviews. My work refuses to let me use AirBnB, so I can't use my work trips to build up good reviews. I've heard that hosts tend to be a bit more cool with work-related rentals if you disclose your employer so they can shame you if you wreck the place. I'm left with very slim pickings when I do personal travel and every time my booking requests get rejected. AirBnB just seems to be this really insular community where if you don't fit a very precise profile or travel during your destination's off-season (meaning they're desperate for a booking) you're just up the creek. It's just easier to book an actual B&B or "Suite" style hotel with a clear pet policy and fee schedule than to fight with vacation rentals.

      I'm not sure but I think you might have some luck if you created a reputation by being a host first.

Yes. They have at least two reasons to care... 1. Noise leads to complaints from neighbors. These can turn into legal issues, if the police are called, or HOA notified. 2. Damage to property. Noisy tenants are more likely to break furniture or leave the house in a mess.
