The Plan approved by the Government at the beginning of 2022 brings together a series of measures to facilitate access to housing
The youth rental voucher is a measure adopted by the Government of Spain to help citizens become emancipated. The Plan approved by the Government at the beginning of 2022 brings together a series of measures to facilitate young people’s access to housing. Both with direct aid and increasing social housing at affordable prices. With the arrival of the new year, many are beginning to look for an apartment to start a new life and this bonus can be very useful.
This bonus is already in force in the autonomous communities where the application is open to young people between 18 and 35 years of age. Its management is the responsibility of the institutions of each territory. The youth rental bonus is a monthly aid of 250 euros for young people who do not exceed 35 years of age. This aid amounts to a total of 6,000 euros divided into 24 monthly installments.
In the month of December, the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, announced some of the new measures that will be adopted as of 2023. Among the novelties, it is worth highlighting the freezing of rental prices. The agreement consists of extending current rents that are going to expire in the next six months, which prevents tenants from having to sign a new contract in which the landlord can freely raise the rental price.
