Exerted control about accommodation and raised prices again (10)
I believe the answer is:
reinflated
'raised prices again' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'exerted control about accommodation' is the wordplay.
'exerted control' becomes 'reined' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'accommodation' becomes 'flat' (type of residence).
'reined' enclosing 'flat' is 'REINFLATED'.
'and' acts as a link.
