New Yorkers have seen it on Facebook a billion times. 

One of your friends posts something like, "Hey everybody, as some of you know I'll be adventuring throughout Cambodia for two months and I need to sublet my room!" 

They might include a link to their Craigslist ad, maybe some photos of the place when it's clean. 

The reality is, sometimes, it's really easy to rent your room out for a bit. 

Other times, it seems impossible to find a new roommate and you're stuck splitting the additional cost.
