Legal Question in Business Law in United Kingdom

I have been paying rent for a business accomodation for 4 years. There was a contract with the original owner. The current owners took over the company 2 and a half years ago but did not issue me with a new written lease but have continued to accept rent from me. They now have asked me to leave the premises and have given me notice of one month. Are they allowed to do this with no reason being given?
