Satisfied with the flat I am occupying (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paid

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

'satisfied' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'the flat i am occupying' is the wordplay.
'the flat' becomes 'pad' (person's home).
'i am' becomes 'i' (I've seen this in other clues).
'occupying' is an insertion indicator.
'pad' placed around 'i' is 'PAID'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paid that I've seen before include "Hired" , "Given money (for work)" , "Gave money for goods or services" , "Settled financially" , "Handed over money" .)
