I'd guess that the number of people receiving eviction letters "out of the blue" is pretty small. I recently had a couple run-ins with my management company and the last thing they want to do is evict me. They just want me to stop the offending behavior. I think the important thing is the agreement between tenant and landlord (or condo association, etc). From my perspective, if those agreements are specific about no subletting then I don't see how it even matters if there is a city-wide ban? There isn't a city-wide ban of smoking in residential buildings in Atlanta but I am not allowed to smoke in mine. That seems to be analogous. I believe the fault lies with both AirBnB and the renter. I see people mostly harping on AirBnB and it does seem they could do more to make the renter think about the legality of the situation or check a box stating that they have the legal right to do so. But as a long time renter, I've always been well aware that in every rental agreement I've signed, it is a violation to sublet at least with out consent from my landlord. The idea that there is some connection between morality and abiding by all laws is silly. There are so many ridiculous laws on the books, it is laughable. Over here in Atlanta, it is illegal to engage in oral sex. I don't believe I'm am a bad person for breaking that law as often as humanly possible. Again, I think that violating a piece of state or city legislation of which I had nothing to do with enacting is far different from me violating an agreement which I myself signed.
