It means trouble for residents (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inmates

'residents' is the definition.
(inmate is a kind of resident)

'it means trouble' is the wordplay.
'trouble' is an anagram indicator.
'it'+'means'='itmeans'
'itmeans' is an anagram of 'INMATES'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for inmates that I've seen before include "Ties man (anag.)" , "Inhabitants" , "Prisoners" .)
