It must be presumed that reasonable compensation is the nominal amount, but such presumption may be rebutted and overcome by evidence that the owner has a specific alternative use for the space occupied by cable television system facilities or equipment or an over-the-air reception device, the loss of which will result in a monetary loss to the owner, or that installation of cable television system facilities or equipment or an over-the-air reception device upon the multiple dwelling unit will otherwise substantially interfere with the use and occupancy of the unit or property to an extent that causes a decrease in the resale or rental value of the real estate. In determining the damages to any such real estate injured when no part of it is being taken, consideration is to be given only to such injury as is special and peculiar to the real estate and there must be deducted from the damages the amount of any benefit to the real estate by reason of the installation of cable television system facilities or an over-the-air reception device.
