I'm pretty sure your neighbours can already rent out their rooms to strangers on the Internet.

Actually, more likely they cannot. Most renters contracts I've seen explicitly forbid this.

"Can't" and "contractually prohibited from" are two different things...
"Heh look! Craigslist still takes my ad for my spare room even though my lease says I can't do this!"
"Hey look! My landlord just evicted me for leasing out my spare room in violation of my lease!"
There is nothing stopping you from putting an ad on Craiglist. However, if you violate the terms of your lease, you can get evicted. Moreover, these sorts of violations are usually not covered by tenant protection laws, so you would not be entitled to the normal eviction procedure protections.
