Note granny has time for the lodger (6)
I believe the answer is:
tenant
'the lodger' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'note granny has time' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 'te' (**).
'granny' becomes 'nan'.
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'time' becomes 't'.
'te'+'nan'+'t'='TENANT'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for tenant that I've seen before include "Lessee" , "Occupier of rented property" , "One renting property" , "One who pays the landlord" , "Person renting property" .)
