Answer

How does short-term holiday renting affect long-term housing in Mallorca?

Short-term holiday rentals can make long-term housing harder to find because they often offer higher returns for owners. In Mallorca, that can reduce the number of homes available for residents who need year-round leases. Enforcement is also slow and labour-intensive, which makes the problem harder to control.
