Rents grass out to break the law (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

transgress

'break the law' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'rents grass out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'rents'+'grass'='rentsgrass'
'rentsgrass' is an anagram of 'TRANSGRESS'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for transgress that I've seen before include "misbehave" , "commit offence" , "Overstep, exceed" , "Go beyond (legal) limits" , "Break (limit, law)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
