When Long-Term Tenants Turn into Holiday Landlords: The Inquilinos Pirata in Mallorca

Answer

Why is illegal subletting such a problem in Palma and Mallorca apartment buildings?

It turns homes meant for permanent residents into short-term tourist accommodation, which can create noise, disruption, and tension in the building. In parts of Palma and other busy areas of Mallorca, that also adds pressure to an already difficult housing market. Owners may face fines and insurance problems, while neighbours deal with constant changes in guests.
