I Just rent my flat in Madrid. The tenant tells me that it is not necessary to enter the bond because it cannot be deducted, since their income is above the limit. Do I have to make the deposit of the deposit equally? They are both going to declare the lease in our statement of income, and I don't know if I be penalized for not having the deposit entered.

deposit the security Deposit in your body is mandatory in all rental contracts. The rules depend on each autonomous community and not putting it could lead the owner to penalties ranging from 26% to 50% of the deposit in Madrid, or from 35% to 75% in Catalonia. On the other hand, do not declare this bond may have a negative impact on your tenant. While today may not be deducted the rent for the residence (only for contracts signed before January 1, 2015 and meeting certain conditions depending on the region), it is possible that in the future you need it, and not to declare the bond surrendered as impossible.
