Person who rents property finding article in temporary shelter (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tenant

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

'person who rents property' is the definition.
'tenant' can be an answer for 'person' (tenant is a kind of person). I am unsure of the remainder of the definition.

'article in temporary shelter' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'temporary shelter' becomes 'tent' (I've seen this in another clue).
'an' inserted into 'tent' is 'TENANT'.

'finding' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tenant that I've seen before include "Person renting property" , "One occupying rented property" , "Renting occupant" , "holder" , "Resident" .)
