Quality Seal for Holiday Apartments — Solution or Fair-Weather Politics?

Answer

Can an apartment in Mallorca still be rented illegally even if it has a badge on the platform?

Yes, that is one of the main concerns. A badge can be displayed quickly, but the more difficult part is making sure the apartment remains legal over time and is removed if the licence is lost or was never valid. That is why follow-up checks and clear sanctions matter as much as the initial verification.
