I believe the answer is:

tornado

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

'potentially destructive' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'rent trouble?' is the wordplay.
'rent' becomes 'torn' (synonyms).
'trouble?' becomes 'ado' (both can mean bother or commotion).
'torn'+'ado'='TORNADO'

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tornado that I've seen before include "RAF fighter; whirlwind" , "lot of wind" , "Donator of fierce wind" , "Terrible current" , "Destructive windstorm" .)
