Hate rent review, so intimidate (8)
I believe the answer is:
threaten
'intimidate' is the definition.
(intimidate can mean to scare or threaten)
'hate rent review' is the wordplay.
'review' indicates an anagram.
'hate'+'rent'='haterent'
'haterent' with letters rearranged gives 'THREATEN'.
'so' is the link.
(Other definitions for threaten that I've seen before include "Impend, portend" , "Cow" , "Menace - impend" , "loom" , "Give warning of something unpleasant" .)
