Answer

How do short-term rentals affect housing in Mallorca?

Short-term rentals can reduce the number of homes available for people who want to live in Mallorca year-round. If more flats are used for holiday lets, local tenants face even less choice and often higher prices. That can make the housing problem worse, especially in sensitive areas with already tight supply.
