When “staying with friends” becomes a business: How illegal holiday rentals on Mallorca grow beyond control

Answer

What rules could help reduce illegal holiday rentals in Mallorca?

A mandatory licence number field on booking platforms would make it harder to offer unlicensed properties. Better cooperation between authorities, platforms, and payment providers could also help identify commercial activity without relying only on complaints. In Mallorca, clearer reporting tools and more targeted inspections would likely make enforcement more effective.
