One may be homeless until it's fixed (5)
I believe the answer is:
abode
'homeless until it's fixed' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'one may' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'may' becomes 'bode' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'bode'='ABODE'
'be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abode that I've seen before include "Dwelling, residence" , "Home or domicile" , "stay" , "House, home" , "Archaic dwelling place" .)
