Answer

Why do vacant apartments become a problem in Mallorca neighbourhoods?

Long-vacant apartments can attract conflicts because they are easier to enter and often receive less day-to-day attention. In Mallorca, that can create tension between owners, neighbours and local authorities, especially if the property is not clearly monitored. Keeping track of empty homes is one way to reduce the chance of avoidable disputes.
