Taking time off, I suggest we wait to find out who rents a property (6)
I believe the answer is:
lessee
'i suggest we wait to find out who rents a property' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'taking time off' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'off' could be 'less' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'less' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ee' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lessee that I've seen before include "The one taking out lease" , "I have to deal with letter" , "Leaseholder" , "One renting a property" , "Contractor" .)
