Answer

Can rent caps actually help tenants in Mallorca?

Rent caps can ease pressure in the short term if they are used in the right areas and backed by clear rules. They are less effective if they are introduced alone, because landlords may simply stop renting long term or reduce the supply of homes. In Mallorca, any price limit would need to be paired with monitoring and more housing supply.
