Issue on subject of tenancy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

release

'issue' is the definition.
(issue can mean to release or give out)

'on subject of tenancy' is the wordplay.
'on subject of' becomes 're' (re can mean on a particular topic).
'tenancy' becomes 'lease' (lease for a property).
're'+'lease'='RELEASE'

(Other definitions for release that I've seen before include "Possibly film" , "New film" , "Set free - publish" , "record" , "Authorise publication" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
