    My parents made this mistake twice. They were unable to afford their own place and asked the landlord if they were interested in moving back in.

    Both times the landlords said no, so my parents made small improvements to the places (replacing carpets, repainting, general upkeep/improvements), but never 12k worth.

    Still, both times the landlords kicked us to the curb (so they could move back in) and we had to move. The 3rd time they were finally able to afford their own place.
