One with income from property, not so much? Otherwise! (6)

I believe the answer is:

lessor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one with income from property' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'not so much? otherwise' is the wordplay.
'not so much?' becomes 'less' (I've seen this in other clues).
'otherwise' becomes 'or'.
'less'+'or'='LESSOR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lessor that I've seen before include "Landlord" , "The one who grants a lease" , "One lets" , "The granter of a lease" , "Proprietress is one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
