Rents in the Balearic Islands: Who Pays the Bill for +8.5%?
Why Rents Keep Rising in Mallorca and the Balearics

Answer
Why are rents rising so much in Mallorca and the Balearic Islands?
Rents are rising because housing supply is limited while demand remains strong, especially in places shaped by tourism and seasonal work. Short-term holiday rentals and investment demand also reduce the number of homes available for residents, which puts pressure on long-term rental prices.
