When “staying with friends” becomes a business: How illegal holiday rentals on Mallorca grow beyond control

Answer

What should neighbours in Mallorca do if they suspect an illegal holiday rental?

Neighbours should document what they can: dates, times, photos, and any visible signs of short-term guest turnover. In Mallorca, simple evidence is often more useful than vague suspicion, especially if there is repeated noise, luggage traffic, or changing visitors. Anonymous reporting channels can help reduce the risk of retaliation.
