Accept new tenant – show kindness, forgetting name (5)
I believe the answer is:
relet
'name' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for relet that I've seen before include "offer accommodation again?" , "hire out again" , "Lease the property again" , "Grant tenancy again" , "have another tenant" .)
