Evict some rebellious tenants (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oust

'evict' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'some rebellious tenants' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'OUST' is hidden in the letters of 'rebellious tenants'.

(Other definitions for oust that I've seen before include "Depose" , "Expel (from a place)" , "Put out, say of office" , "Remove or reject from position" , "Remove from a position or office" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
