The actual lease agreement controls. Without seeing that agreement it is impossible to answer your inquiry. If you are talking about the lease which is signed by the landlord the only way to change that is to have all people including the landlord sign another new one. The remaining tenants can agree amongst themselves on how the current rental will be paid. They don't need to change the underlying lease. They may want to enter into a new document evidencing the new agreement.
