Answer

Will removing illegal holiday rentals in Mallorca make housing easier to find?

It may help a little if some flats return to the long-term market, but the effect is unlikely to be simple or immediate. Some owners may switch to other platforms or use informal arrangements, so the pressure on housing can continue in different forms. The real outcome depends on how well authorities enforce the rules in Mallorca.
