It is permissible to pay a sum of money to the brother in exchange for his relinquishing his right to his father's share of the apartment, for the right belongs to him and must be paid to him. He is allowed to relinquish his right, or part of it, if he is an adult and of sound mind. As long as he agrees to a compensation, it is permissible to pay it, even if it is less than the value of his share.
