Rental subsidies in the Balearic Islands: More leeway for realistic caps

Answer

Why are the current rental subsidy limits seen as unrealistic in Mallorca?

The current caps were set at fixed amounts that no longer reflect many rental prices on the island. In places like Palma, rents are often much higher than the level covered by the existing rules, so the support can fall short of what tenants actually need. That is why local officials and housing advocates are pushing for a more flexible system.
