Balearic Islands want to adapt rent subsidies to island realities

Answer

Why are the current rent subsidy limits not realistic for Mallorca?

The current national limits were set for a broader Spanish market, but they often do not match rental prices in Mallorca. In central Palma and other high-demand areas, many flats and rooms cost far more than the amounts that qualify for support. As a result, some people who need help may not currently be eligible.
