Some things are automatically included in every tenancy agreement, like hot water and locks on the doors. These are basic rights for every tenant. Even if these things are not listed in your agreement, you still have a right to them. Other things are “extras”, like laundry facilities or a parking space.

Be sure to get the “extras” in writing. Your landlord can’t change your tenancy agreement unless you both agree. For example, your landlord can’t make you start paying for heat if that was not part of your original agreement. | Be sure to get the “extras” in writing.
