Palma imposes moratorium on new holiday rentals — a stop with questions

Answer

Can a ban on new holiday rentals in Palma solve the housing crisis?

Not on its own. A stop on new licences can slow further expansion, but it does not automatically turn holiday flats into long-term homes for residents. Without enforcement, transparent records and incentives for permanent rentals, the effect may stay limited.
