Puigpunyent wants to break the rent spiral – application for 'tight housing market' status

Answer

What does 'tight housing market' status mean in Mallorca?

In Mallorca, 'tight housing market' status is a legal classification that gives local authorities more tools to respond to very limited rental supply and rising prices. It can support measures such as limits on rent increases, stronger reporting rules, and targeted housing support, but it does not create new homes on its own.
