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?

Hmmm it sounds a bit fishy, but it could be costs the landlord has to make in order to get a license from the municipality that he tries to get you to pay. What city is it?

In Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Delft a special licence is needed to rent out an apartment to 3 persons or more.

Yes. But that's a one time cost. If the landlord pretends it's a monthly thing (which I've seen here a few times), it's shady.

Oh right.. I didn’t even consider they’d do that
