LFS Markup?
before looking at markups, have a look at costs for me to empoly someone I have Public liability ACC insurances wages holliday pay sick pay It costs me all up about $35 perhour to employ someone. Next think of the costs involved with leasing the property Then the over heads (even bank ODs are over 16% interest) now how do they (the LFS) get this money... from the margins on fish. How many will they sell each month and how much of margin do they need. With fish, 100% would not even start to cover costs let alone buy a big mac

Are Fish Classed as "Pets"
No Whetu Your being honest. Most people think they need to hide things and your not so no problem I know there are a lot of Landlords out there that are not so good but the majority are good as its there investment. For every bad landlord there are probably 10 bad tenants.

Are Fish Classed as "Pets"
sorry but your thinking of the problem in its most basic form. Far more important is the smell from cats and dogs and the damage thats under the carpet. The fleas that can hatch a few years after the cat and dog have left. The water spills that not only rot the carpet but make a chipboard floor turn to weatbix after the tenant has left. The dampness that means repainting far sooner than would normally be needed and the mould that starts. You would be shocked at some of the places I see where good tenants leave... not the bad ones Just be honest with the landlord and you will probably get a good suprise. remember that he is letting you live in an asset that he probably owes a lot of money on that may well be worth 200 ot 400 thousand. Say its $200,000 if he was to sell it and put the money in the bank, he would get $17000 per year in interest. Thats $325 per week so surely the owner deserves a bit of honesty?

thing is that landlords make their money from getting people to pay a fair price and look after the property. They simply want good no problem long term tenants. As soon as they find that they have been lied to or people have "hidden" the facts, it puts doupts into the trust that is needed to have a long term relationship.
