Yes you are both bound to it as is, you can re-negotiate at the end of a term or come to a mutual agreement. This will work if you want to end or update the lease. You can send a notice that there is a new owner and introduction or if need be buy them out of the rest of their lease. If you are in the city there may be other restrictions or regulations that you may want to watch out for.
