The refund of one month’s rent to specific categories of citizens who meet income and property criteria will be paid by November 30th. “This measure is now permanent and will be given every November. It was created to help people because rents are very high and the housing crisis is here. It’s also a measure that wants to create conflicting interests, meaning if I declare €300 and pay €600, I will get €300, not €600. So it’s a pressure measure in the negotiation between landlord and tenant. The amount they will get back is 1/12 of the rent they paid last year and because many people have the perception that they will get €800, they won’t get €800. Eight hundred euros is the maximum. If you pay and it shows €800 and above, that’s what you’ll get plus an increase for each child,” emphasized tax consultant Nikos Fragiiadakis on Mega TV.
