if it is an ancestor property for which you and your brothers/sisters will be heirs to and you can enter into renta agreements. Also get the khata changed into your name (if you are the sole heir). See if there is a will which deals with this property, then the will will operate.

There are two positions here, if your brother want to retain his share and sell or lease his share then after getting gift deed from mother, he can do so provided the gift deed mentions specific area of his gifted area. After such gift, he should get his area mutated.
If he wants to go out, he may further sell or gift it to another brother and can be completely out of the house.
