I believe the answer is:

unlearnt

'forgotten' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to thinking as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'nice a dilapidated rental' is the wordplay.
'nice' becomes 'un' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a dilapidated' is an anagram indicator.
'rental' with letters rearranged gives 'learnt'.
'un'+'learnt'='UNLEARNT'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for unlearnt that I've seen is " Disregarded".)
