When coercive fines aren't enough: Could holiday rental owners soon face prosecution?

Answer

What are the main challenges in applying the new rules for Mallorca's holiday rentals?

Enforcement hinges on proving repeated disregard beyond doubt, which requires time-consuming documentation, delivery receipts, and access to platform data. Confirming actual tourism use (arrival and departure lists, consumption profiles) often depends on third-party data. These steps slow procedures and can leave cases in limbo.
