Why the rental obligation matters in Mallorca
The impact of Mallorca’s renovation scheme depends heavily on how long owners must keep flats in long-term rental use.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
How long should renovated flats stay in the rental market in Mallorca?
That is one of the key questions for the scheme. A short rental obligation may bring only temporary relief, while a longer commitment is more likely to have a lasting effect on Mallorca’s housing market. The exact duration matters because it decides whether the flat returns to the market or slips back into holiday use later.
