At the most you can file a suit for recovery of the amount which was deposited by way of Security deposit along with three months advance rent and interest thereon. In addition to, you can in the very same suit claim damages by way of compensation for the loss sustained by the organization as loss of business. Filing a suit for specific performance in such case won't be fruitful, as the landlords intention is apparent on the face of record that he is not inclined to let out the premises.
