Answer

What makes renting a flat in Mallorca so expensive for first-time tenants?

For first-time tenants in Mallorca, the problem is not only the monthly rent. Security deposits, furnishing a flat, and the cost of commuting can make the first move almost impossible, even with a regular income. On top of that, many available homes are pushed out of reach by strong demand and short-term rental pressure.
