When Long-Term Tenants Turn into Holiday Landlords: The Inquilinos Pirata in Mallorca

Answer

How can I tell if a tenant in Mallorca is secretly subletting the flat to tourists?

Small signs can point to illegal holiday use, such as unfamiliar people coming and going, suitcases in the stairwell, or repeated short stays with changing guests. In Mallorca, this often becomes visible in apartment buildings where neighbours notice coded entry systems or frequent late arrivals. None of these signs prove the problem on their own, but together they can justify a closer check.
