The real issue in NYC is squatting. Remember, it takes almost 8 months to go through housing court to get someone evicted in this city. A subtenant could overstay their stay and there's not much you could do about it other than go through this process. A workaround may be to not have any written sublease agreement, get paid in cash only, and call the subtenant a guest.

I don't know what it takes to show that but in general nyc courts are pretty tenant friendly.
