Take away ease, we hear, for occupier (6)
I believe the answer is:
lessee
'for occupier' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'take away ease we hear' is the wordplay.
'take away' becomes 'less' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ease we hear' becomes 'ee' (sounds like the plural of 'e').
'less'+'ee'='LESSEE'
(Other definitions for lessee that I've seen before include "Person who rents" , "Leaseholder" , "Who pays the rent" , "One who rents" , "One granted temporary use of property" .)
