Leased, rented (5)
I believe the answer is:
hired
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'leased' is the first definition.
('hire' can be a synonym of 'lease')
'rented' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for hired that I've seen before include "Engaged for wages" , "Rented out" , "like a Merc" , "Employed for wages" , "Taken on to staff" .)
