Answer

What can Palma City Council do to increase long-term rentals?

In Palma, that can mean vacancy levies, tighter controls on tourist use, better inspections, and clearer rules for owners who keep flats empty. Local action matters because the rental pressure is strongest in the city’s most affected neighbourhoods.
