Answer

What measures could help ease the housing shortage in Mallorca?

Useful steps include better records of vacant homes, incentives to convert holiday apartments into long-term rentals, and more social housing. Stronger tenant protection and tighter control of short-term rentals could also help reduce pressure. None of these measures works alone, so cooperation between public institutions, owners and local groups is essential.
