Must a landlord give me a copy of my lease?

I live at an apartment complex where the landlord is refusing to give me a copy of the lease. The problem is that the lease has an error on it and they want me to sign a “corrected” copy which I refuse to do.
The lease basically states
“The base rent will be $400 payable in installments of $3120 per month”
which is obviously an error. This should state
“The base rent will be $3120 payable in installments of $400 per month”
Can I legally compel the apartment complex to give me a copy of my signed lease despite this error. I do not want to fix which could arguably be a “void” contract.
