This clue might be a double definition.

'surrenders' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with ownership as well as being verbs in their -s form.

'retires' is the second definition.
('turn in' can be a synonym of 'retire')

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for turns in that I've seen before include "Goes home" , "goes to bed" , "Voluntarily hands over" , "Retires" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Guardian.
