The rent subsidy in Luxembourg

Between 10 and 520 euros a month. The amount depends on the household's composition and income.

The main conditions:

• be an adult with a right of residence of more than 3 months in Luxembourg and be registered in the national register;
• rent on the private market in Luxembourg, not from your parents or children or from a public body (Fonds du Logement, SNHBM, a commune...);
• live in the home as your main and permanent residence;
• no household member may own more than a third of a home, in Luxembourg or abroad;
• have a regular income when you apply, below the ceiling set by the law of 7 August 2023.

The monthly rent excluding charges must be more than 25% of the household's monthly net income. If the rent is 25% or less, the aid is refused.

The income taken into account is the net income of the calendar year before the month from which the aid is granted.
