Answer

What can Mallorca municipalities do about empty homes and second residences?

Municipalities can collect clearer data on how homes are being used and act against properties that stay vacant for long periods. They can also tighten rules around conversions into holiday lets and consider measures for second homes. The goal is to keep more housing available for people who live and work on the island year-round.
