Owner harassment

We take shop for rent 1year rent paid in advance with zero deposit but now owner not remove their own stuff and agreement is started already can we cancel aggreement demand for refund the amount now what action we can take for that.



Quick Summary
You've paid a year's rent in advance for a shop, but the owner hasn't vacated it, and your agreement has already started. As physical possession wasn't handed over on the agreed date, the landlord has breached the rental agreement. You are entitled to cancel the agreement and request a full refund of the rent paid.

Since physical possession of the shop has not been handed / taken over by landlord to tenant (you) on the date fixed, therefore terms of rent agreement is violated which cannot be enforced by the landlord. Consequently you are eligible to revoke the agreement and seek refund of the money paid.

At the time the rent was paid, why did you not take over the shop?  Now you shall follow the advice of the above-learned expert Dr. J.C. Vashista, sir.

You may serve a legal notice seeking posession of the of the rented premises within the specified time limit. And in case inability, return of the deposit with interest and damages for the inconvenence and harassment inflicted.
