Answer

What does it mean if Capdepera is classified as a strained housing market?

If Capdepera is officially classified as a strained housing market, the municipality can use legal tools that are meant to help control rent increases. The designation does not lower rents by itself, but it can open the door to caps and other housing measures. Whether those tools work depends on the data, the legal framework and how consistently they are enforced in Mallorca.
