When coercive fines aren't enough: Could holiday rental owners soon face prosecution?

Answer

What specific proposals exist to improve enforcement of illegal rentals in Mallorca?

Proposed digital reporting and a linkage system would match listings with cadastral numbers and licenses to flag illegal ads automatically. There is a push for differentiated sanctions so small landlords aren’t treated the same as major platforms. Standardized notification channels for platforms, with fixed deadlines and automated interfaces, would reduce ad-hoc faxes. Transparent complaint and appeal rights would keep procedures fair, and advisory information would help owners legalise operations.
