The vast majority of NYC leases forbid subletting of any sort. Leasing or subletting to someone for under 30 days is illegal in NYC if you don't have the proper permits. There is a loophole in the law that makes it legal for you to rent out a room within your apartment for under 30 days while you are present in the apartment, though most leases forbid this as well.
