Types of property occupancy seen in Act rewritten (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tenancies

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

'types of property occupancy' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'seen in act rewritten' is the wordplay.
'rewritten' is an anagram indicator.
'seen'+'in'+'act'='seeninact'
'seeninact' is an anagram of 'TENANCIES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for tenancies that I've seen is " property".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
