Chaos over vacation rental numbers: Who's right — Madrid or the Consell?

Answer

Does a missing NRU mean a Mallorca holiday rental is illegal?

Not automatically. Madrid treats a missing NRU as a serious compliance problem, while the Consell argues that it can also reflect delays or incomplete paperwork. In practice, a missing number can signal either an illegal listing or an administrative backlog that still needs checking.
