Promotion of MP with rent-free accommodation (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

preferment

'promotion' is the definition.
(preferment is a kind of promotion)

'mp with rent-free accommodation' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'accommodation' indicates an anagram.
'rent'+'free'='rentfree'
'mp' put after 'rentfree' is 'rentfreemp'.
'rentfreemp' is an anagram of 'PREFERMENT'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for preferment that I've seen before include "step ahead?" , "Promotion to higher office" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
