Answer

How could tighter holiday rental controls affect housing in Mallorca?

The hope is that removing illegal rentals will reduce pressure on the local housing market and leave more homes available for residents. But the effect depends on how well the rules are enforced and whether legal hosts can keep operating without unnecessary disruption. Stronger controls alone do not solve the housing shortage if other factors stay unchanged.
