What the landlord does reportedly is acceptable (2,7)
I believe the answer is:
in keeping
'acceptable' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for in keeping that I've seen before include "appropriate" , "Suitable" .)
