Starting from November 2025, a new financial support measure will be implemented, providing the annual rebate of one month’s rent to tenants of primary or student residences. The amount will be paid directly into the beneficiary’s bank account and will be repeated on a permanent basis.
👉 Who is eligible?
The measure applies to those renting housing, whether for their main residence or for student accommodation.
👉 Income and asset criteria
Eligibility follows the rules of the “My Home II” program, adjusted according to family status:
- Single individuals: Annual income up to €20,000.
- Married couples: Income up to €28,000, plus €4,000 for each child.
- Single-parent families: Up to €31,000, plus €5,000 for each child beyond the first.
For main residences, there is also a property value cap: the total taxable property value (as determined by ENFIA) must not exceed €120,000 for singles, with an additional €20,000 for each extra family member. For student housing, no such limit applies.
👉 Amount of the rebate
The rebate corresponds to one-twelfth of the annual declared rent.
- For the main residence, the maximum rebate is €800 per year, plus €50 for each dependent child.
- For student housing, the maximum rebate is also €800 per year.
👉 Payment procedure
The rebate will be automatically paid every November 30, with no application required, as long as the rental contract has been properly declared in the tax return.
Details:
- Payment is based on the data of the tax return.
- If the rental contract number has not been declared, beneficiaries can add it with an amended tax return by July 15, without penalty.
- An additional grace period is provided until September 30.
- Submitting a corrective informational return does not incur a fine.
👉 What does this measure mean?
This initiative aims to provide financial relief to households and students facing the rising cost of housing. It offers an annual “boost” that will become a stable part of the government’s tax policy.
