Just to clarify the discussion above between guest & werdnall:

Angel:

* get out the tenancy agreement and read it
* what is the name given for the landlord?
* is there a UK postal address provided (usually with words like "for the serving of notices")
* if yes, write there
* if no- you do not have to pay rent :

Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 section 48

48 Notification by landlord of address for service of notices.


(1)A landlord of premises to which this Part applies shall by notice furnish the tenant with an address in England and Wales at which notices (including notices in proceedings) may be served on him by the tenant.


(2)Where a landlord of any such premises fails to comply with subsection (1), any rent or service charge otherwise due from the
tenant to the landlord shall (subject to subsection (3)) be treated for all purposes as not being due from the tenant to the landlord at any time before the landlord does comply with that subsection.

(3)Any such rent or service charge shall not be so
treated in relation to any time when, by virtue of an order of any court, there is in force an appointment of a receiver or manager whose functions include the receiving of rent or (as the case may be) service charges from the tenant.
