If Commercial Realtor refers Tenant to a Landlord, then Tenant breaches Tenancy Agreement, can Commercial Realtor be liable to Landlord?
<p><a href="https://money.stackexchange.com/q/142165">This is my case.</a>
Are there legal reasons that Shopping Centre Landlord (NWD in my case) alleges that a vacancy is unavailable to me, but let Commercial Realtors (CBRE in my case) lease THE SAME VACANCY to me? Possible that Landlord contracted away some of Landlord's liability to CBRE? Then Landlord will want CBRE to lease vacancy — and not lease directly to me —  because CBRE can reduce  Landlord's liability.</p>
<p>I know that if CBRE introduces a Tenant that gets into legal issues, CBRE can lose face, reputation in Landlord's eyes.  Landlord will loathe, lose confidence in CBRE. But CBRE can't sue Landlord just because CBRE loses reputation???</p>
<p>Tenant can breach Tenancy Agreement  by  pay rent late, arrear, go bankrupt, skip rent and disappear!</p>

<p>Most likely there are. For instance, some contract between NWD and the commercial realtor might prevent the former from offering to others some specific set of premises. If so, leasing any of those premises directly to you would put NWD in breach of contract with respect to the commercial realtor.</p>
<p>Even if there is no such contract between NWD and the commercial realtor, NWD's intentional misrepresentation that Shop 23 is unavailable does not seem to be actionable. Generally speaking, it is within NWD's freedom of contract to decline leasing its premise(s) regardless of whether it causes you a loss: There is nothing in your description suggesting that NWD might be incurring unlawful discrimination. Therefore, the <em>falsity</em> of the reason(s) for not leasing to you the premise has no legal effect on anyone.</p>
