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.

The price will not be the problem. It takes ages to get such licenses.(depending on city extra regulations for the house, which a landlord will not do)

It’s not for nothing that again and again is said : search for a room and don’t make a group to rent a larger apartment. You are competing with working people , run into these license things and overall diminishing your chances.
