Housing shortage in Mallorca: Stabilized rents — who is left out?
Who Is Being Pushed Out by Mallorca’s Housing Shortage?
Single households, families and lower-paid workers are under the most pressure in Mallorca.
Published: April 23, 2026
Answer
Which tenants are most affected by the housing shortage in Mallorca?
Single-person households, young families and workers in tourism, retail or hospitality are among the hardest hit. Their incomes often do not match the rent levels now common in Mallorca, so many are pushed into shared flats or temporary solutions. The shortage is especially visible in Palma, where competition for homes is intense.
