Mini-scale Rent Gouging: The Tool Shed Offered as an Apartment

Answer

Can a tool shed in Mallorca legally be rented out as an apartment?

Not if it is only a tool shed or has not been properly converted and approved for residential use. In Mallorca, any space offered as a home must meet legal requirements for habitability, planning, and water use. A listing that presents a tiny outbuilding as a normal apartment can trigger inspections and proceedings.
