I rent out still (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inert

'still' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'i rent out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'rent' is an anagram of 'nert'.
'i'+'nert'='INERT'

(Other definitions for inert that I've seen before include "Not chemically active" , "Sluggish, inactive" , "Incapable of acting, like some gas" , "Unreactive; still" , "Dormant, lifeless" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
