Letting agency dissolved

Lee.1973

Hi, I am 7mths into a 12mth contract and several weeks ago I discovered by chance my letting agent had closed down even tho I have not had any formal correspondence to confirm this (and I am assuming the landlord has probably not been informed either).

So in regards of the situation would this be a breach of contract (altho I do fully acknowledge the landlord could well be a victim in this aswell) also I do know my...

Your landlord is whoever is named as "landlord" on your tenancy agreement,
That may not be the owner of the property.
