Can any co-landlord without the consent of other co-landlords let out a flat for the purpose of tenancy and accept hefty amount of advance money from the new tenant?

No, it is pertinent that either he obtained an authorisation letter from other co-owner or their consent in writing.
If not then it may be a criminal offence

No. All the co-owners shall jointly execute the rent agreement but not a single owner. Or they shall divide the property and then any co-owner can do as he likes for his share.
