Bunch of typos in lease. Big deal?

So the current lease I have the tenant under was from the last PM the previous owner had... before I bought the duplex, the previous owner had switched PM's from Rentmax to APM realty but of course kept the lease from the last PM, Rentmax.... I wanted to switch the lease over to APM's since I'm working with them now. Doesn't make sense to have a lease in place from another PM that doesn't manage for me. The only thing tho is that the lease that APM has to offer has a bunch of typos. I want to have my business ran with integrity and I don't want the typos to cause confusion and honestly it looks ugly. What do y'all think? Should I have them fix it? Not worry about it? Maybe get a whole other lease written up from an attorney? This may be a stupid question but those typos really bother me...

@Jonathan Perez they are people too. I would talk to them about the typos and see what their response is. If they are upset that you are trying to improve their professionalism to an 8th grade writing standard, then move on. They likely will treat more of their business with the same care. If they say, "Oh, thanks! We had a temp write it up and didn't notice," then there may be no problem.

Side note: I find it interesting that spelling is a pet peeve when you happily use "y'all" in a sentence  :P
