Why long-term rentals in Mallorca are dwindling — and what could help

Answer

Is the long-term rental problem in Mallorca mainly a Palma issue?

Palma is one of the clearest examples, but the problem is not limited to the city. Other parts of Mallorca also feel the pressure when more homes move into seasonal use and fewer are offered on annual contracts. The exact situation differs by municipality, which is why local rules and enforcement matter so much.
