Youth Rent Grant (Bono Alquiler Joven), explained in English
The Bono Alquiler Joven is direct help with your rent for young people. It is paid by the State and the regions under the State Housing Plan 2026-2030.
What it is
A direct payment to help you pay your rent: up to €300 a month for a home and up to €200 a month for a room, under the State Housing Plan 2026-2030 in force since April 2026.
Usual requirements
- Being up to 35 (each call sets the exact age).
- Having a rental contract for your main home (or a room) in your name and being registered there (empadronamiento).
- Limited income, set by each region, usually as a multiple of the IPREM.
- Rent below the limit set by your region.
- Not owning another home in Spain (with exceptions) and not being a close relative of the landlord.
- Being up to date with taxes and Social Security.
How and when to apply
There is no single national office: each region (comunidad autónoma) opens its own call, usually once a year, on its website. You normally need a digital certificate or Cl@ve, your rental contract, your registration certificate and proof of income. Each region opens on different dates, so the easiest way is to set up an alert.
