Tenant Aid in the Balearic Islands: Well-Intentioned but Too Narrowly Scoped

Answer

Why are many tenants in Palma unlikely to qualify for the subsidy?

A key reason is the rent ceiling, which is set at €900 per month. In Palma, many rents are higher than that, so a large share of tenants will be excluded before the application is even assessed. The income rules also leave out households that earn too much, even if their housing costs are still heavy.
