Answer

Are broker fees usually paid by tenants in Mallorca?

In many short-term rental cases on the island, tenants are still asked to pay the broker’s commission. That can add a significant upfront cost at the moment when renters already face high deposits and limited supply. Some agents have suggested splitting the fee between landlord and tenant to make the process fairer.
