Answer

Who is responsible for home maintenance in a Mallorca apartment building?

In many Mallorca apartment buildings, responsibility is shared through the comunidad de propietarios, the owners' association. That means repairs often depend on decisions, funds and coordination between several owners, while landlords are usually responsible for rented homes under the rental agreement. If there is uncertainty, residents should ask the building manager, the owner or the owners' association as soon as a structural problem appears.
