property or which he determines to be adversely affected by the use
to which such real property will be put.

of a tenant, as against the owner of any other interest in the real
property, to remove such building, structure or improvement at the
expiration of his term, and the fair market value which such
building, structure or improvement contributes to the fair market
value of the real property to be acquired or the fair market value
of such building, structure or improvement for removal from the real
property, whichever is the greater, shall be paid to the tenant
therefor.

payment, the tenant shall assign, transfer and release to the
acquiring entity all his right, title and interest in and to such
improvements. Nothing in this section shall be construed to deprive
