Answer

What problems do unregistered holiday rentals cause in Mallorca?

Unregistered holiday rentals can make it harder to manage noise, waste, parking pressure and the overall balance of neighbourhood life. They also reduce trust, because residents and authorities cannot easily tell which accommodation is legal. In Mallorca, that uncertainty has become part of the wider debate about tourism and quality of life.
