My response:
No. "Premises liability" is still a viable cause of action in the event there are persons allowed on the premises, or there is something wrong with the premises, that causes injury to a third party. The owner of land is always "up for grabs" as a Deep Pocket in litigation. The lessor/owner of the land still has the responsibility to inspect his/her land for dangerous conditions. The only difference here is that the Attorney now has another party to go after - - the lessee.
Whenever land is leased, a lessor would do well to require, as part of the lease agreement, that the lessee buy sufficient insurance, and that the insurance will indemnify the lessor in the event of a claim.
