Application period for the 2022 rental subsidies in the Balearic Islands is now open

Applications are open for rental subsidies from tomorrow, November 15th, through December 15th.

The Regional Ministry of Mobility and Housing has informed that the 2022 rental subsidies can be requested from Tuesday November 15th untilย  December 15th. The requests must be processed electronically through the website of the Govern de las Illes Baleares ajudeslloguer.caib.es, where you will find a tutorial with all the steps to follow to facilitate the process.

However, people who can prove that they are unable to access the application online can make an appointment at the offices of the General Directorate of Housing and Architecture and the IBAVI, which will reinforce their staff and extend the opening hours to the public two hours a day to provide the necessary support and assistance to ensure that the application is registered correctly. The opening hours will be from 9am to 2pm from Monday to Friday and always by appointment, which must be requested through the web or by phone at 012.

Applications will be processed and resolved in order of submission, according to the date of entry with complete and correct documentation.

Those interested in obtaining these rental subsidies must submit all required documents and it is important that before completing the process all documents attached have been verified. Once the application has been made, it cannot be accessed again, so if an error has been made, the whole process will have to be resubmitted.

The allocation for 2022 applications is 8,734,000 euros, of which 6,534,000 come from the State Housing Plan 2022-2025, and 2,200,000 euros from regional funds. An amount that, this year, is added to the 4.8 million euros allocated to the Bono Alquiler Joven.

With the two calls, this 2022 rental aid will have made a total of 13.5 million euros available to families, 49% more than in 2021.

Rentals up to 900 euros per month

The rental subsidies are aimed at those families who pay rent, so that they can recover part of what they have paid. It must be the rent of their habitual residence and the rent they pay may not exceed 900 euros per month. These are aids for rents paid during 2022.

As a novelty, the percentage of aid for all rental subsidies applicants has been increased, going from 40% to 50% -which until now was received by those under 35 years of age and those over 65 -, of the rent paid during 2022. There is a maximum limit of 3,000 euros per year per dwelling.

Requirements

The requirements to be fulfilled by the rental subsidies are, among others, to be the holder of the rental contract, to use the dwelling as a habitual and permanent residence, to be up to date with rental payments when the application is submitted, to make the payments by bank transfer (direct debit or deposit in a bank account), to have Spanish nationality or legal residence, to comply with the maximum income requirements, not to have incompatibilities to receive subsidies and not to be the owner or beneficiary of any dwelling in Spain, unless it is a part received by inheritance, not to have the use of the dwelling for justified causes and not to be a direct family or partner of the owner.

The maximum income must be in the general case of 24,318 euros per year; 32,425 euros per year for large families of general category, people with disabilities and victims of terrorism; and 40,531 euros per year for large families of special category and people with disabilities with a recognized degree equal to or greater than 33%.

In order to determine the income of the family unit, the income of all the persons in the cohabitation unit will be added together.

The amount of the rental subsidies will be, for all purposes, 50% of the rent currently paidย and a maximum subsidy per dwelling of 3,000 euros per year is established.

This rental subsidies are not compatible with any other aid for the payment of the rent of the State Plan for the Access to Housing 2022-20225, nor with those that, for this same purpose, may be granted by the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands, the local entities or any other Administration or public entity.

The rental subsidies are not incompatible with exceptional aid to victims of gender violence, victims of trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation, victims of sexual violence, persons subject to eviction from their habitual residence, homeless persons and other especially vulnerable persons. As well as persons receiving non-contributory social security benefits or beneficiaries of the minimum vital income.
