The Parisian coming to Chichester maybe as a tenant (6)
I believe the answer is:
lessee
'a tenant' is the definition.
(lessee is a kind of tenant)
'the parisian coming to chichester maybe' is the wordplay.
'the parisian' becomes 'les' (definite article in French).
'coming to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'chichester maybe' becomes 'see' (the site of a cathedral is called a 'see').
'les'+'see'='LESSEE'
'as' is the link.
(Other definitions for lessee that I've seen before include "One renting a property" , "Renter in a property" , "Person renting a property" , "Tenant with a contract" , "The one taking out lease" .)
