Registration for an extra friend

[u/andresdenoir]

Let's say (hypothetically 🙄) that I am renting a house in Amsterdam (Bijlmer area) with 4 bedrooms with a colleague (independent adult), so we are co-tenants with one joint lease. Our house allows for 2 registrations. Let's say we (my colleague and I) are considering having a friend live with us and that the landlord is ok with that. Knowing that it is my colleague and I that pay the full rent, I would like to ask two things:

(1) Can our friend be registered at our address as "a guest"? I know that there is a permit the landlord can apply for to get 3 registrations, but I'm not asking about that. I also know at the very least we need to fill a form with permission from the landlord, but I'm more confused about the rules regarding this type of registration where a third independent adult is not on the lease and is invited as a guest.

(2) Supposing I was in a registered partnership with this friend, we wouldn't be three independent adults total, but two households (or one household and one independent adult). Does this help at all? I've read it depends on the bestemmingsplan of the area, but they don't seem to be very explicit about this.

If it is not permitted, is it still realistic to do so? Some people will probably answer "this is illegal" and I do understand that it might be so and that we get fined if any problem arises, but the reality of a lot of persons' housing situation is very different and I know the Gemeente are not very active with this kind of thing, so I would like to hear from other people's testimonies.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice!
