Answer

What are the most practical ways Mallorca could reduce illegal short-term rentals?

The most practical steps are stricter registration, better platform control, and visible checks in neighbourhoods under pressure. Authorities could also make it easier for residents to report suspicious rentals and require clear proof of legal status in every listing. These measures are most effective when they are local, targeted and easy to enforce.
