Number given to worker who may be temporary resident (6)

I believe the answer is:

tenant

(Other definitions for tenant that I've seen before include "Renting occupant" , "He pays rent for lodgings" , "Lodger" , "Occupier of rented property" , "individual bound by lease" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
