Pagadi rent problems

Hello Respected Lawyers and Advocates and Law Advisors, First I would like to thank you all for such wonderful forum. My father had purchased a flat under Pagadi Rent and iam staying in the house since last 22 years. But after my father death the owner is not accepting rent. My question is that. 1. Can I approach the court first and advise the owner to accept the rent will my case be strong as the house was rented to my father and not me, and all this years the owner never transferred the tenancy right on my name even when my father wanted it to happen. 2. Is it necessary to take my brothers no objections signature as the owner is insisting and my Brothers are not signing and wanting share they are not staying in the house since last 18 years and have got settled in good jobs in Railways. My brother’s signature is it compulsory or can I avoid?
