If the pubcos follow that model, I can see why they are unpopular.Bayardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211150959757982948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-80414754727469834282014-01-21T19:43:25.155+00:002014-01-21T19:43:25.155+00:00Ph, what's wrong with smelly toilets in a pub?...Ph, what's wrong with smelly toilets in a pub? That's part of the fun. <br /><br />B, yes, I mentioned that. <br /><br />L, that's how rents work for everybody in the long run. Ricardo's Law Of Rent. <br /><br />B, I think it is a bit more finessed than that - the pubco sets a fairly low basic rent but then overcharges for the beer.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-50588131489794350352014-01-21T19:31:24.693+00:002014-01-21T19:31:24.693+00:00when the tenant increases sales and possibly profi...when the tenant increases sales and possibly profits by his own efforts, the rent goes up.<br /><br />Shades of absentee landlords in C19th Ireland.

But, most of the Pubco tenancy agreements are written in a way so that when the tenant increases sales and possibly profits by his own efforts, the rent goes up. Whatever the tenat does the extra he or she adds goes back out in rents to the pubco. This is definitely what has been doen to our local landlady. She rues the day she signed the agreement.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586735342675041312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-35943845102659162482014-01-21T16:39:17.226+00:002014-01-21T16:39:17.226+00:00My brother is in the wine trade and has many membe...My brother is in the wine trade and has many members of what he calls "the hostility trade" as customers. He reckons that when a pub fails, it is most likely because of a bad landlord (pub landlord, not pubco landlord). The most unsuitable people think that they would be good at running a pub and, unsurprisingly, fail at it.<br />BTW why is the proprietor of a pub called a landlord, when he's usually a tenant?Bayardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211150959757982948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-49549492412708675592014-01-21T08:48:14.620+00:002014-01-21T08:48:14.620+00:00So not the smelly toilets, then?So not the smelly toilets, then?Physiocrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13682019625346594568noreply@blogger.com
