Hoover perhaps, but no power for householder (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resident

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

'householder' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'hoover perhaps but no power' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'no' could be 'n' (common abbreviation) and 'n' is present in the answer.
'power' could be 'id' (id is a kind of power) and 'id' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'reset' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resident that I've seen before include "Inmate" , "Incumbent" , "Inserted by permanent inhabitant" , "Occupant's" , "Dwelling in a place for some time" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
