avid of their rents

[Garliclover]

could anyone help me to understand the meaning of AVID OF RENT in the sentence:

"In this case, he is right, as is, by the way, the case with some ex-leftists who are either avid of their rents or who lost courage."

thank you,

[Mister Micawber]

.
'Avid of one's rents' would normally mean 'eager to receive one's money for renting (something)'.
