Athens, April 27, 2025 – Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis took to social media today with exciting news for Greek tenants: starting this November, the government will cover one month’s rent annually for over 900,000 renters. “As our economy grows, so should your wallet,” Mitsotakis said, emphasizing that this initiative returns the benefits of Greece’s fiscal success directly to its people.
In a heartfelt video message, the Prime Minister explained, “If you’re renting, this is for you! We’re doing something simple but game-changing: The state will pay one month’s rent every year. This isn’t a handout—it’s about sharing the rewards of economic growth and cracking down on tax evasion. Whether it’s your primary residence or student housing, you’ll get up to €900 or €800 back each November. Got two kids in university? You’ll receive support for both!”
This new measure, backed by recent fiscal data from ELSTAT and Eurostat, complements existing housing policies and aims to ease the burden on renters, especially young Greeks. “I know how tough renting can be,” Mitsotakis added. “As Greece moves forward, we want every citizen, especially our youth, to feel the progress. This is just the start—we’ll keep delivering real support through actions.”
