Answer

What new penalties can Mallorca impose on illegal holiday rentals?

Mallorca's authorities can impose daily coercive fines between €50,000 and €500,000 for illegally rented holiday homes. If an owner ignores two penalty notices, the case may be referred to the public prosecutor. They can also request that platforms remove illegal listings, and enforcement has been backed by a rise in inspections.
