Airbnb and the €64 Million Decision: What the Fine Means for Mallorca

Answer

Could tighter Airbnb rules help Mallorca residents find more housing?

Tighter controls could help if they reduce the number of illegal short-term rentals taking homes out of the long-term market. But the effect will only be noticeable if listings are checked properly and taken down quickly when they break the rules. For residents in Mallorca, that is what will matter more than the fine itself.
