What changed
This law introduces emergency housing measures in the Balearic Islands to tackle a severe housing shortage driven by tourism pressure.

Urban planning measures are also included to unlock land for affordable housing development.
Who is affected
It affects property owners, landlords, real estate agents, developers, and tourist accommodation operators across the Balearic Islands. Tenants in stressed market zones are also affected by the new rent caps.
What to look out for
→ Landlords in designated stressed zones must ensure their rental contracts comply with the new reference price index. Tourist accommodation operators should verify they hold the required habitability certificate and permits under the updated rules.
