Temporary accommodation receiving a new renter (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tenant

'renter' is the definition.
('tenant' can be a synonym of 'renter')

'temporary accommodation receiving a new' is the wordplay.
'temporary accommodation' becomes 'tent' (I've seen this before).
'receiving' is an insertion indicator.
'a new' becomes 'an' (I've seen this in other clues).
'tent' going around 'an' is 'TENANT'.

(Other definitions for tenant that I've seen before include "Occupier of rented property" , "One who pays rent" , "Person renting property" , "Renting occupant" , "holder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
