The Bono Alquiler Joven has nine requirements and you must meet all of them at once on the application day. Four are personal: being 18 to 35, EU nationality or legal residence, a regular income source and household income up to 3 times the IPREM, that is 25,200 euros a year. Two concern the home: a lease in your name, or signing one within 2 months, and the flat being your main home, with padrón registration. The last three are exclusions: owning no other home, not being related to or a business partner of the landlord, and being up to date with tax and Social Security. Then comes a filter that is about the flat, not you: your region's rent cap. If you fail on work record or income, the 2026-2030 Plan youth aid is more flexible.
Age, nationality and income source
Article 6 of Royal Decree 42/2022 looks at your age on the day you apply: up to 35 inclusive. Nationality can be Spanish, another EU country, the EEA or Switzerland; otherwise you need lawful stay or residence. The regular income source is the requirement most people overlook: you must be working or receiving a benefit, with 3 months of work record in the last 6, or hold a contract expected to last 6 months.
The income limit and who counts
The income of everyone registered at the address, whether or not they are on the lease, cannot exceed 3 times the IPREM. With the 14-payment IPREM that is €25,200 a year. If you rent a room, only yours counts. The region takes your latest income tax return; if you did not file, the Tax Agency data certificate. The IPREM page turns your income into IPREM multiples.

The home and the exclusions
You must hold the lease or sign it within 2 months of the award, and the flat must be your main home for the whole period, with padrón registration within 3 months (article 7). People are excluded if they, or anyone living in the flat, own or hold the usufruct of another home, are first or second degree relatives of the landlord or partners in the landlord company. In addition, article 13 of the General Subsidies Act requires being up to date with tax and Social Security.
If you fail one, look at the youth aid
The 2026-2030 Plan youth aid requires no minimum work record and raises the limit to 5 times the IPREM, counting only your own income. In exchange, you cannot apply until your region opens it. Get your documents ready so your file is complete when the window opens.
