Out of rent for van (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

forefront

'van' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'out of rent for' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator.
'of'+'rent'+'for'='ofrentfor'
'ofrentfor' with letters rearranged gives 'FOREFRONT'.

(Other definitions for forefront that I've seen before include "van" , "Vanguard" , "Leading position" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
