Why Mallorca's New Fast-Track Procedure Against Illegal Holiday Rentals Is Only a Beginning

Answer

How does Mallorca’s faster procedure against illegal holiday rentals work?

Mallorca’s island council wants to speed up enforcement so that suspected illegal holiday rentals can be ordered to stop much sooner. The process also includes notifying platforms such as Airbnb and Booking so that listings can be removed. If owners keep renting without permission, they risk substantial fines and, in serious cases, criminal charges.
