better check with landlord .If all the members were residing with your mother at the time of her death then all the heirs will be entitled to the tenancy right. Upon death of the tenant those who were residing with the deceased tenant will be entitled to the tenancy right.

Consult a local lawyer as full case history and documents have to be referred in case there is no amicable solution among family members.
