Payment divided (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rent

I believe this is a double definition.

'payment' is the first definition.
(I know that rent is a type of annuity in advance)

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

(Other definitions for rent that I've seen before include "breach" , "Let out - torn" , "Payment for use of house" , "money demanded by letter" , "Payment - in pieces" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
