Answer

Should landlords in Mallorca install window safety devices?

A growing number of people argue that landlords in Mallorca should be responsible for basic child safety fittings, especially in higher-floor homes. That includes window restrictors or similar devices when flats are rented out or renovated. Clear rules would help make safety less dependent on each tenant’s ability to pay for improvements.
