Oust tenants from the east side of Victoria? (5)
I believe the answer is:
evict
'oust tenants' is the definition.
'evict' can be an answer for 'oust' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not sure about the 'tenants' bit.
'the east side of victoria?' is the wordplay.
'east side' indicates one should take the final letters (the letter on the east end of the word).
'of victoria?' becomes 'vict' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The final letter of 'the' is 'e'.
'e'+'vict'='EVICT'
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for evict that I've seen before include "Turf out" , "Throw out of property" , "Drive from home" , "Remove from a residence" , "Turn out of home" .)
