You are absolutely correct. As a homeowner, you have every right to rent out your home (as long as you are not living in it also). You would be in violation of deed restrictions if you were living in your home and renting out a room, which you are not.

On the other hand, your tenant is violating YOUR DEED RESTRICTION and probably also the RENTAL AGREEMENT that you had them sign. My understanding of the way things work is that as the homeowner of your property, you are responsible for insuring that your property is in compliance with the deed restrictions, not your tenant. Therefore, you need to either evict your tenant or make sure that they stop running a AIRBNB out of your property.
