Support the renewal of a lease? (5)
I believe the answer is:
easel
'support' is the definition.
(easel is a kind of support)
'renewal of a lease?' is the wordplay.
'renewal of' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'lease' is an anagram of 'EASEL'.
'the' is the link.
(Other definitions for easel that I've seen before include "Constable's supporter" , "Wooden frame for an artist" , "Artistic tripod" , "Frame for a canvas" , "Framework to hold a canvas" .)
