Alone, a tenant keeps tidy (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neaten

'tidy' is the definition.
(I know that tidy can be written as neaten)

'alone a tenant keeps' is the wordplay.
'keeps' indicates a hidden word.
'NEATEN' is hidden within 'alone a tenant'.

(Other definitions for neaten that I've seen before include "Trim" , "Make tidy" , "Straighten up" , "set in order" , "Make orderly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
