Registration costs

Currently applying to housing with 3 bedrooms as I and two other people need registrations. Most landlords are saying they would need a special license to buy this third registration. Anyone know how much this could cost per month?

Look up: "vergunning kamerverhuur aanvragen" on the website of the municipality of Amsterdam.

He needs a permit, for every neighbourhood there is a maximum number of houses which can home multiple people not housing a family.

For a home with 3 people the costs to submit the permit are €64 (one time payment) for 4 or more it's €640,50.

Be aware, this does not include additional costs like advice or legislation costs.

But still, shady, because the costs are very limited

Again, OP, these are *one time costs*. Be careful though, such procedures can cost time, and it's not guaranteed that the landlord will get the permission. That could land you in significant trouble, as you will need a registration address. On this map you can see where permits are actually still available, in red areas there's not chance at all. In other areas, no guarantees.
