Turning point or breathing space? What Mallorca's rental market is really revealing

Answer

Why are so many people being pushed out of Palma by rent prices?

In Palma, high rents are forcing some residents to move away because a large share of their income goes on housing. That leaves little room for everyday expenses, especially for lower-income households and pensioners. The result is displacement, even when headline price growth appears to be slowing.
