Stuck with last clue 6D
French 6's female renter (5)
I have -A-RE
There are 2 entries with the same clue the other 12a has 6 letters for which I have a justifiable (I think) answer.
Wondering if clue 6d is a misprint? Any thoughts??

faere

I'm a bit hard of thinking this morning, but I can't parse either of these two.

The answers sound like laissez- faire. The clues don't give any hint of that?

Well I have Lessee and Sabre for these two clues which are both “renters” but I can’t justufy them beyond that.

Grr. Why can’t I edit my post?? Justify obviously... ;-)

Does Myops want us to think that Lessee sounds like Lassie?
Still can't parse Faere.

Thanks for all input at least it's established that there's not been a printing error...I think...

Where does faere come from? Not in Chambers, can't find any definition on line, can't see how it's defined by any part of the clue.

12A: LESSEE seems OK; at least popular. Parsing??? French for sixes (6's) is SES amd LEE is a female name. Stuck with 6D however. Reluctantly inclined to think there is an error.
