This cannot be termed as ‘Misrepresentation by person that he is the owner of the flat’ as the agent who showed you the property has told you that the owner does not know hindi or English and he handles the deals. Hence it appears from your query that you were already aware that you are not dealing with the owner. Since you have already shifted, you might have entered into a rental/ lease agreement which was signed by the owner. If you have this agreement, you can tell the owner that you have entered the flat lawfully. If there is no agreement, then please collect all the documents/ sms/ communication that you have exchanged with the broker/ agent to show that you have interacted with him. Also, it is likely that when you paid the advance amount and the rent, you might have the bank receipt/ cheque details or taken some acknowledgement from the agent like his signature. You can furnish these details to the owner. If he asks you to evict from the house, you can file a case but you will need to collect the materials for it.
