Housing Pressure on the Islands: Why Ibiza Sets the Bar for High Rents

Answer

What policy steps could help make housing more affordable on Mallorca?

Policies should start with better data: transparent registers on vacancy, second homes, conversions and actual rents. Then use tools like vacancy and second-home taxes, tax relief or renovation grants for landlords offering long-term rentals, sanctions against illegal holiday rentals, municipal land for housing, and mediation centers for tenants and landlords.
