Accommodating bore with extremely high rental (5,2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eager to please

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'accommodating' is the definition.
(someone accommodating is eager to please)

'bore with extremely high rental' is the wordplay.
'bore' becomes 'eager' (eager is a kind of bore).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'extremely high' becomes 'top' (associated in meaning. I am not sure about the 'extremely' bit.).
'rental' becomes 'lease' (synonyms).
'eager'+'top'+'lease'='EAGER TO PLEASE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for eager to please that I've seen is " Obliging".)
