Reduced daily rent for holiday home (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chalet

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

'reduced daily rent' is the wordplay.
'reduced' means to remove the last letter.
'daily' becomes 'char' (I've seen this before).
'rent' becomes 'let'.
'char' with its final letter taken away is 'cha'.
'cha'+'let'='CHALET'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for chalet that I've seen before include "Holiday cabin" , "Swiss summer hut" , "Kind of mountain cabin in Switzerland" , "Originally an alpine cowherd's hut" , "Swiss holiday home" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
