"Ayuso has my money", "80% of our salary pays rent" or "enough of patches, we want solutions". Hundreds of young people have gathered this Saturday in front of the Real Casa de Correos, headquarters of the regional Executive, to demand payment of the Youth Rental Bonus corresponding to 2022; an aid of 250 euros per month from the central government aimed at those under 35 years of age who rent a property or a room in the region and which accumulates, in some cases, 11 months of delay.
This has been denounced in a joint manifesto by the Platform for People Affected by the Youth Rental Bonus of the Community of Madrid and the Tenants' Union, revealing themselves to be "fed up" with waiting for help "while others continue to profit from our business by living off rental income." abusive."
"Patches like the young bond, beyond its disastrous management, show once again that these types of solutions are not enough," they emphasize, which is why they ask for "strong measures to alleviate the escalation of prices in the region."
The Minister of Housing, Transport and Infrastructure of Madrid, Jorge Rodrigo, detailed this Thursday in the Madrid Assembly that the administration has had to require 3,645 beneficiaries of the Young Rental Bonus for not presenting the documentation correctly.
According to the counselor, the Government has granted 11,476 bonuses, of which 7,107 files corresponding to the fiscal year 2022 have been paid with a provision of 15.7 million euros, so 4 out of every 10 requests have not been paid.
