Section 21 with no lease - Help!

Section 21 with no lease – Help!

Hi, I bought my first buy to let house in 2012 with a tenant in situ, and being naive and inexperienced, I never thought to issue a lease as my solicitor at the time arranged with the selling agent to have the rent payments paid directly into my bank account.

Now, all these years later, I have issued a Section 21, my first ever, only to find, when going to fill in the possession paperwork details of the lease, multiple questions about the tenancy agreement and having to send them in with the claim form.

Does this mean that the Section 21 is invalid, and if so, what are my alternatives?

Thank you,

Joe
