commision typo on an executed lease
<p>I have this property in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_listing_service" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Multi Listing Service</a> (MLS). It state the cooperating commission is 5%. On the actual Lease we made a typo and placed 10% commission instead of 5% commission. The broker is not accepting this error and the Miami Association of Realtors is not accepting it either.</p>
<p>The Board of Real-estate says the commission on the MLS must serve as proof of commission split to cooperating broker if, the broker does not agree to pay the cooperating broker 5% additional.</p>
<p>My questions are... does having the property listed in the MLS protect the typo that was made? Does using the Residential Lease for Single Family Home or Duplex, have typo corrections allowed?</p>

<p>In the event of a dispute, the person resolving the matter, probably an arbitrator in the case of a commission dispute between two realtors and either an arbitrator or a judge and jury depending upon what your listing agreement says about that issue, would hear the testimony from both parties and decide.</p>
<p>The intent of the parties is supposed to govern in cases of clerical errors, but a signed document has a lot of weight, especially in such a prominent term.</p>
<p>It is a little hard from the way the question is posed to determine who is willing to correct the typo and who insists on enforcing the contract containing the typo.</p>
