Why Are So Many Vacation Rentals Disappearing from Mallorca's Market? A Reality Check

Answer

Does a drop in vacation rentals in Mallorca make housing cheaper for locals?

A smaller legal rental market can ease pressure in some areas, but the effect depends on whether apartments move into long-term housing or simply continue renting without registration. Without stronger enforcement, the housing impact may be much smaller than the statistics suggest.
