There is no on the money obtained from the rented apartment as long as it is spent on housing rent, due to it not reaching the and a hawl (year) not having passed. As for the other apartment: if you own it with the intention of trade, zakat is obligatory on it (2.5%) annually if its value reaches the nisab; otherwise, there is no zakat on it. The money obtained from renting shops is subject to zakat for your mother if it reaches the nisab and a hawl has passed over it. Regarding the zakat on the wife's jewelry, it is more prudent to pay zakat to avoid disagreement.
