The statutory rateable-value multiplier in section 53A(4)(a) prescribes a minimum compensation only; reasonable compensation under section 53A(2) must be the equivalent of the tenant's actual loss from forced early surrender — measured by the value of the tenant's expected future use of the tenancy (capitalised profit rent for the relevant period) plus reasonable disturbance — and not by past occupation sentiment or an automatic multiple of rateable value.
