Is it better for a single family home renter to do the bare minimum lawncare, to do the most, or somewhere in between?

I'm looking for a more academic level discussion on this, not just a "haha fuck landlords lol" discussion. I'm truly looking for the way to most benefit self, whether it be community improvement to self benefit or purely self or something else.

Does improving your lawn improve the value of the property by landscaping and doing other tenant approved activities price a unit out of rentability and move it to ownership?

Does it give your home owning neighbors a cookie so that they want milk, and then they start demanding laws get passed that make sure rental units have to be a certain standard and then it becomes more expensive for landlords to maintain and they can't raise rent because it's maxed out based on demand not tangible improvements, so then they are forced to give tenants way to lower the rent by appreciating the value of the tenants work (I.e. rent reduction if you mow the lawn)

Does maintaining something you don't own make you value things you do own more or does it give you a negative view that nothing you have is yours to keep?

I'm interested in the tangential conversation too.

Edit: to be clear though, my landlord is a small time landlord, has maybe 10 properties. They're not a blackrock type landlord. Honestly, seemingly decent landlord. If I was given 100 fucking points to use on fucking landlords over, I'd rather distribute 10 fucking points to 10 different landlords to fuck over instead of giving them to my landlord. It'd be different if I had a black rock style landlord though. I just want my lawn care plan to be academically sound for a brighter future.
