Assuming that your question deals with a commercial rather than private residence lease and that this employee list is a material provision of the contract, then it is likely enforceable by the new owner. (However, concerning your comment as to

your employees likely reaction to this request, you might

want to revisit this issue with the landlord to see if it

might be waived, or, perhaps, modified to some extent that

your employees could live with it without "them walking".

As to the timeframe, that would likely be the time referenced

in the lease itself, or, if none, then the 60 days which

the new owner is requesting which would appear reasonable.
