If an obvious typo error such as 2010 entered instead of 2011,

should have no effect at all (in my opinion).

Further comment: The most important element in this kind of transaction is that

there was the proverbial "meeting of the minds" of the parties to

this contract regarding its essential terms, i.e., the landlord and tenant

in this case who obviously must have known and agreed to the year involved.
