Advancing Renovations Instead of Waiting: Government Funds Refurbs — Is That Enough for More Affordable Rents in Mallorca?

Answer

Can government-funded renovations really make rents more affordable in Mallorca?

They can help if enough empty flats are brought back into the long-term rental market and the rules are strict enough. But if the obligation is too short or rents stay close to market levels, the effect will probably be limited. The programme may ease pressure, but it is unlikely to solve Mallorca’s housing shortage on its own.
