Housing shortage in Mallorca: Why even retirees are now leaving the island – and what can help

Answer

What can help older residents stay in Mallorca instead of moving away?

Support for long-term renting, social housing with local priority, and advice centres could make a real difference. Public renovation loans and tax incentives for landlords who offer stable leases may also help keep homes available to local residents. Without wider housing and income policies, though, the pressure on older people is likely to remain.
