Deals making profits for the landlord? (8)
I believe the answer is:
bargains
'deals' is the definition.
('bargain' can be a synonym of 'deal')
'profits for the landlord?' is the wordplay.
'profits' becomes 'gains' ('gain' can be a synonym of 'profit').
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'the landlord?' becomes 'bar' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'gains' put after 'bar' is 'BARGAINS'.
'making' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bargains that I've seen before include "Advantageous purchases" , "Haggles over price" , "Special offers" , "They're cheap at the price, as in sales" , "Goods procured cheaply at sale" .)
