Is the Mega Fine Enough? What Ibiza's Fight Against Illegal Holiday Rentals Really Changes

Answer

What makes enforcement against illegal rentals so difficult in Mallorca?

Enforcement is often slow because administrative procedures take time and municipalities may not have enough staff. Owners can also challenge sanctions, which delays the return of properties to the long-term market. Without enough inspections and better cooperation with booking platforms, many illegal listings stay online for too long.
