Answer

What role do holiday rentals play in Mallorca's housing problem?

Holiday rentals can add pressure to Mallorca’s housing market by reducing the number of homes available for long-term residents. When demand is high and supply is tight, that can push rents up and make it harder for locals to stay in their neighbourhoods. Many people see stricter rules and better enforcement as part of the solution.
