Can a landlord (UK, English law) make a claim from a potential tenant who wants to back out of signing a Tenancy Agreement?

TLDR: it's illegal to BUY it. It's illegal to USE it. Know your suppliers.
That's certainly an interesting question, in light of how the market has changed in recent years, particularly due to Amazon/eBay, but even moreso due to Amazon Fulfillment and competitors.

It is, and always was, their account
Email accounts belong to the account owner, not the individual who uses the account.
If they were to use the account to impersonate you, that might be illegal. However, if they use it for archiving purposes, to access the contract lists within it and to advise that you are no longer with the organisation, that’s fine.

There may be no basis for the debt
