    Absolutely I agree a claim could be made. Obviously each would be tested on their own merits.


    I think most often a LL wouldn't bother pursuing it as the success rate is very hit and miss; as such it's a risk to spend time bringing a claim which is not straight forward.

    Why would such a claim be a risk if the LL was confident in their evidence?

    Because courts are strange places? Claims like these aren't straight forward? People think their evidence is solid when it isn't, or vice versa?


    I said a lot of the time LL don't claim, even when they could. I'm not saying they shouldn't.

    I can't see how the LL could be so confident in their evidence.

    It would be very difficult for the LL to prove that a respondent to their advert would have gone on to become a tenant. The applicant may well have decided it wasn't for them once they had a viewing.
