Why Mallorca Tops Evictions — and What It Means for Everyday Life

Answer

Why are evictions so high in Mallorca compared with other parts of Spain?

Mallorca is seeing high eviction figures because several pressures are building at the same time: a shortage of affordable housing, rising living costs and legal cases that move slowly through the courts. The statistics also reflect a gap between eviction orders and those that are actually enforced, which is partly due to legal protections for vulnerable households and administrative delays.
