Location nits get renovated (7)
I believe the answer is:
setting
'location' is the definition.
(I know that location can be written as setting)
'nits get renovated' is the wordplay.
'renovated' is an anagram indicator.
'nits'+'get'='nitsget'
'nitsget' anagrammed gives 'SETTING'.
(Other definitions for setting that I've seen before include "situation" , "Background" , "Surroundings; hardening" , "musical version of poem" , "Going down (of the sun)" .)
