Divides accommodation (8)

I believe the answer is:

quarters

I believe this is a double definition.

'divides' is the first definition.
(quartering is a kind of dividing)

'accommodation' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for quarters that I've seen before include "Place (for married soldiers) to live" , "In America, change" , "Subdivides" , "accommodation for troops" , "Four equal parts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
