This is connected to Brexit, sure, but I am almost certain (it's not mentioned in the article though) that the landlord for the property is not the UK government but rather a private enterprise of some sort. So the EMA having to move out is not the fault of the landlord, really. The realistic options are spelled out in the article: the space stays empty until 2039, the EMA find someone who wants to sublet it, or EMA/UK gov/landlord find a deal together. I don't see the EU just ignoring its obligations as an option, not least because the EU-UK relationship is still important.
