What it is
From 2025 and every year on a permanent basis, one declared month's rent for a main home and/or student home is refunded. Payment is made automatically by the end of November to the IBAN declared to AADE (Independent Authority for Public Revenue); there is no separate application and no age criterion. For the 2026 round (2025 rent), payment has been scheduled for 30 November 2026. With the extended limits of Law 5313/2026, taxable income may be up to €25,000 for a single person, €35,000 for married couples or civil partners plus €5,000 per dependent child, and €39,000 for a single-parent family plus €5,000 for each additional child after the first. For a main home there is an asset limit of €120,000 for a single person, increased by €20,000 for a spouse and each dependent child; for a student home there is no asset criterion. The refund is 1/12 of the declared rent, up to €800 for a main home plus €50 per dependent child, and up to €800 for a student home.
