Officer has no place for resident (6)
I believe the answer is:
tenant
'resident' is the definition.
(tenant is a kind of resident)
'officer has no place' is the wordplay.
'officer' becomes 'lieutenant' (lieutenant is a kind of officer).
'has no' suggests deleting specific letters.
'place' becomes 'lieu' (as in the phrase 'in lieu of').
'lieutenant' with 'lieu' removed is 'TENANT'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for tenant that I've seen before include "Occupant of rented property" , "Resident" , "individual bound by lease" , "One occupying rented property" , "Person renting property" .)
