As the lease agreement has expired, you have the legal right to reclaim your shop. You can send a legal notice demanding vacating the premises. If the tenant still refuses, you can file an eviction suit in the court.

My family and I signed a lease agreement with the father of the homeowner, but the electricity bill for the past three years is in his name. I paid a full deposit of 6.5 lakhs to him, but due to a medical emergency with my wife, we couldn’t move in. I immediately informed the landlord about this and asked to cancel the lease. He’s returned 4 lakhs, but is holding back the remaining 2.5 lakhs, asking for more time. What legal options do I have to recover the remaining amount? How long would this process take, and what are the estimated costs involved?

Can we win this case in the High Court too, and ensure our family’s rightful ownership of the property?

The next day, I changed my mind about the house and the landlord agreed to return the advance.

Our family has been renting out a shop on the ground floor of our building for decades. The rent was fixed by our ancestors and hasn’t been updated in all these years. Now, the tenant has bought two more shops, while our family of three is facing unemployment. Despite their comfortable income, they refuse to vacate the shop. Even though we’ve tried increasing the rent minimally, it doesn’t help. The tenant is demanding a hefty sum for vacating the shop. We’re struggling to make ends meet due to our unemployment. How can we get justice, especially when the government promotes self-employment? We’re at a loss and need guidance on how to handle this situation fairly.
