    What reason would they have to lie?

    On the balance of probability they probably did send it. It possibly arrived at a different time to the postman's delivery, ended up sitting on the mat until someone shuffled it up with all the junk mail and binned it.

    What would happen if they didn't sent the notice? What would the consequences be of that?

    There are no circumstances here where you aren't liable for the rent, regardless of what the landlord has/hasn't done.

    But you need an address and name of the Landlord for the rent to be payable to and we didnt get that?

    You wouldn't have to pay however you have to keep the money by and be expected to pay it all when they do give you the name of landlord and address.

    Like I said above, if there hasn't been any notice about a new landlord then (as far as you're concerned) you still have the old landlord. Nothing which has happened here makes the tenancy agreement vanish in a puff of smoke.

    You know what OP...just dont pay it...you clearly owe it but feel that you might be able to wiggle out of it on a technicality.

    That's fine...you seem to have done a bit of googling and think you might know your rights on this.

    Try googling "eviting a non paying tenant".....that's what you will be if you don't pay your rent regardless of whether you think your contract is with a pervious LL or the one that owns the property that you are currently living in.

    how much is the rent payment that you don't want to make?

    Did you give a deposit for the property?
