Rent-price shock 2026: How Mallorca is heading toward a social crisis

Answer

Why are rents in Mallorca expected to rise so sharply in 2026?

A large number of rental contracts in Mallorca are due to expire in 2026, and many were signed during the lower-price period of the pandemic. When those contracts are renewed, tenants may face much higher monthly costs because the market has tightened over the past few years. Demand from outside the island, speculative buying and pressure from holiday rentals are all part of the problem.
