The State Housing Plan 2026-2030, approved by Royal Decree 326/2026 and in force since 24 April 2026, creates a rent aid to help young people leave home. It runs alongside the Bono Alquiler Joven but cannot be added to it. Adults aged 35 or under on the day they apply can claim it. It pays up to 300 euros a month for a flat and up to 200 for a room, never more than 60% of the rent, for 24 months that the region may extend by another 24. Only your own income counts, not that of the people you live with, and it must not exceed 5 times the IPREM, 42,000 euros a year, or a little more with a recognised disability. The rent cap is 1,000 euros, 600 for a room, falling to 500 and 250 in towns of 10,000 people or fewer. No minimum work record is required. You apply in your region once it opens its Plan call.
What you pay and what the aid covers
The maths is short: the lower of €300 and 60% of the rent, under article 137 of Royal Decree 326/2026. On a rent of €450, the aid is €270 and you pay €180. On €800, the aid reaches the maximum of €300 and you pay €500. For a room the maximum is €200, with the same 60% limit.

How it differs from the Bono Alquiler Joven
Both aids are for people aged up to 35 and pay for 24 months, but the rules differ. The Bono looks at the whole household's income with a limit of 3 times the IPREM; the youth aid looks only at yours, up to 5 times. The Bono accepts rents up to €600, or €900 by agreement; the youth aid, up to €1,000. The Bono requires three months of employment record; the youth aid does not. In return, the Bono pays a flat €250 even on a low rent, while the youth aid never exceeds 60% of what you pay.
You cannot receive one on top of the other: article 136 rules out any other rent aid, except aid for gender-violence victims and other especially vulnerable people. The calculator on the home page compares both with your figures.
Requirements people tend to miss
You must not own or hold a life interest in a home in Spain, unless you cannot use it because of separation, divorce or another cause beyond your control. You must not be a first or second-degree relative of the landlord, or a partner in the company renting to you. The flat must be your main home for the whole period. Long-term care benefits and non-contributory disability or retirement pensions are left out of your income. The limit rises to 5.5 times the IPREM with a 33% disability or if you are the child of a gender-violence victim, and to 6 times with a 65% disability.
If you move or sign the lease later
You can apply before signing: you then have 2 months from the award to sign the lease and another 2 to provide the padrón certificate. If you change flat within the same region, report it within 15 days: you keep the aid if the new flat meets the rules, adjusted to the new rent and never above what you were receiving. Call status is in the calendar by region.
