Rents adjusted for fliers (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

terns

'fliers' is the definition.
(tern is a kind of bird)

'rents adjusted' is the wordplay.
'adjusted' indicates an anagram.
'rents' is an anagram of 'TERNS'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for terns that I've seen before include "Seabirds" , "Aquatic birds" , "Rents out these birds" , "Sea birds with long forked tails" , "Sea bird with long forked tail" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
