Affordable and social housing in Mallorca: where to start

Start with the help you need. If you need somewhere affordable to live, look at protected housing and affordable rental programmes. If you already have a tenancy and are struggling with the monthly rent, look for a rental subsidy or speak to municipal social services if the situation is urgent.

Registering for protected housing

The Balearic Government has a public register for people seeking protected housing. Its official procedure explains how to apply, who can register and the documentation to provide. Keep your contact details and household information current, and check each allocation notice for its own requirements.

Looking for a home through Lloguer Segur

The Balearic Government publishes a tenant guide for Lloguer Segur. Read the eligibility rules and check whether homes are available in places you can live and commute from. Keep a copy of any application and note how the scheme will contact you.

Looking for help with rent you already pay

Check the official procedure for each grant. The pages can show different windows for initial applications, correcting paperwork and submitting rent receipts. If a page asks for an existing application reference, check whether you are looking at a later stage of the process. Keep your agreement, receipts and correspondence together.

If your housing situation is urgent

Contact social services in the municipality where you live. Explain any deadline, including when you have been asked to leave, and bring your contract, notices and any relevant paperwork. A housing-register application and an urgent request for help are different processes.

If you’re also looking on the private market, see our guide to renting a home in Mallorca long term for the checks to make before signing.
