Uses bales to create secondary rentals (9)

I believe the answer is:

subleases

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'secondary rentals' is the definition.
'subleases' can be an answer for 'rentals' (sublease is a kind of rental). I'm not sure about the 'secondary' bit.

'uses bales to create' is the wordplay.
'to create' indicates anagramming the letters.
'uses'+'bales'='usesbales'
'usesbales' anagrammed gives 'SUBLEASES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for subleases that I've seen is " Documents".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
