The Madrid regional government awards the Bono Alquiler Joven directly, under an Agreement of its Governing Council of 26 December 2024 summarised in BOCM no. 8 on 10 January 2025. Applications are accepted from 3 February 2025 and the e-government site shows a standing window: there is no closing date, but aid is only granted while the 31.8 million euro budget lasts. Young people aged 18 to 35 with household income up to 3 times the IPREM can apply. The general rent cap is 600 euros, 300 for a room, but it rises to 900 and 450 in the towns listed on the site, Madrid city included. The last general rent aid was the 2025 one, under the previous plan, with a window in November and December. There is no Madrid call yet under the 2026-2030 State Plan. After the Sierra Oeste wildfires, emergency aid is open until 15 November 2026.
A bonus with no closing date
Unlike most regions, Madrid does not open a window of a few weeks: it awards the Bono directly, under the summary published in BOCM no. 8 of 2025, and the Madrid region e-government site keeps it permanently open. That does not mean unlimited money. The budget is 31.8 million euros and applications are decided in phases: the latest final list, for the third phase, came out in September 2026. The sooner you apply, the more likely you land in a phase that still has funds.
Two rent caps in one region
Madrid was one of the regions that agreed with the Ministry to raise the limit in article 8 of Royal Decree 42/2022, according to the La Moncloa note of October 2024. But not across its whole territory: the €900 cap (room €450) applies in the towns listed on the site, Madrid city included, and elsewhere the general €600 applies. Before signing, check whether your town is on the list.
With a high rent, the gap between the aids is wide. Try your own figure:

What there was for other tenants
For anyone outside the age limit, the last general aid was the 2025 one under the previous plan: a call in the BOCM of 28 October 2025, applications from 4 November to 15 December, 50% of the rent and the same 600 or 900 euro caps. There is no Madrid call yet under the 2026-2030 State Plan, neither for the general aid nor for the 300 euro youth aid.
Emergency aid after the fires
In September 2026 the region approved emergency rent aid for people who lost their main home in the Sierra Oeste wildfires: up to 1,500 euros a month for a year, first come first served until 15 November 2026. And if you are thinking of buying in a small town in the region, Annex IV of the Plan gives Madrid the highest price ceiling in Spain: €325,000.
