Crossword Genius

On the house that's unoccupied (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

free

I believe this is a double definition.

'on the house' is the first definition.
(something on the house is given away free)

'unoccupied' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for free that I've seen before include "Without cost; liberate" , "Under no obligation" , "Gratis, for nothing" , "Not working" , "Not fixed; not in use" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
