Tenant's fee (4)
I believe the answer is:
rent
'tenant's fee' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for rent that I've seen before include "Payment for lodgings? that's torn it" , "Split - lease" , "Landlord's due - that's torn it" , "It's paid by a tenant" , "Money for hire - that's torn it" .)
