Dear Bhalaji,
As per Section 194IB of Income Tax Act, An Individual or HUF (Other than referred in section 194I) (Here, referred your tenants), responsible for paying to a resident (here, referred your client) any income by way of rent exceeding of INR 50,000 Per month or a part of a month then TDS rate of 5% shall be deducted from the payment to the landlord.
In your case, there are different tenants, each of paying rent less than INR 50,000 per month so, there is no applicability of TDS arises on tenants as the limit is not exceeded INR 50,000 on each hand and there is no such liability arises your client too.
Further, in my view, the Tax liability on rent income will arise while filing the return of your mother. (In case no will deed made) If will deed exist, then taxability of Rent income arises in the hand of the transferee.
