Holiday Rentals in Mallorca: Reality Check after Brussels Veto

Answer

Why is Mallorca struggling to stop illegal holiday rentals?

Enforcement is difficult because some rentals appear regulated on paper, while real-world checks are limited and housing pressure is growing in many neighbourhoods. The problem is not solved by laws alone; it also depends on inspections, platform cooperation and follow-up penalties.
