Answer

How do holiday rentals in Mallorca become legal?

In Mallorca, a holiday rental must be properly registered and comply with the rules set by the relevant authorities. The difficulty is that the process can involve different levels of administration, which makes it hard for owners and neighbours to know what is fully legal. A clear, unified system would help, but until then the rules can still feel fragmented.
