If your father died intestate, ie; without leaving any will, the property is now (after his death) co-owned by his legal heirs according to the law of inheritance applicable to your community.The respective share of each individual heir in the rental income will be included in his/her Total Income.
You may also take the stand that after the intestate demise of ur father, the property belongs to an HUF of which the eldest son is the Kartha.
