What the EU Criticism Means for Holiday Rentals in Mallorca

The European Commission has questioned a blanket ban on holiday rentals in multi-family buildings in the Balearic Islands, saying such restrictions may go too far under EU law. For Mallorca, that means the authorities cannot rely only on broad prohibitions and will likely need more targeted rules that can be justified by local housing conditions. The real challenge is enforcing rules in practice while still protecting the housing market for residents.
