A lease is a contract and it is binding on the parties that sign it.  If the lease is breached in some way you can ask a court to declare it void.  But unless there is an issue you may be stuck.  You could try and buy the tenant out of the lease, offering a cash incentive as moving expenses.  Speak with a lawyer and bring the lease.  Good luck.
