This is about compensation where the tenancy is terminated and it is not in the case of an eviction. It remains in law the right of a landlord to serve a notice to quit under certain conditions which are outlined in the Bill. A family member moving into the home, if this Bill goes through as per the amendments, remains something that can be done legally in terms of serving a notice to quit and, therefore, the issue of having to pay compensation does not arise.
