Answer

Can landlords in Mallorca ask for years of rent in advance?

In Mallorca, requests for two or more years of rent upfront are generally a warning sign, because rental law sets limits on deposits and security payments. If a listing asks for an unusually large advance, it should be checked carefully and ideally reviewed with legal advice before any money is paid.
