    Agreed, but even if they haven't been unruly I still think the 'transient hotel' thing is reasonable to not want in your building. I know my neighbors wouldn't exactly feel comfortable if they knew my apartment was being rented out by strangers every month.

Especially in a situation where an apartment building might have layered security levels -- everyone can get in the lobby, anyone who lives in building B can get in building B, but only those who live on the third floor can get to the third floor -- and part of subletting your rooms to someone would involve giving them access to certain private areas. That's really the only argument I can see that would make this rationally illegal. I may be missing something.
