Is it bad to renovate a rental to make it more convenient?

[Bradley Lemen]

I always see people talking about throw some paint on top of everything clean the floors and update the kitchen. But what about wanting to make a rental more convenient for tenants? Maybe I'm just getting to much into it but things like kitchen setup is terrible for flow fridge is on one wall stove is on another sink and a little bit of counter space? No windows to let light in? Do landlords ever think of how would this benefit me if I had to live here? I understand not replacing $100 things with $2000 things but small things to make life a little easier for tenants is that a bad mindset to have for owning rentals?

Do it when you remodel anyway, not just because.  For example if you are replacing the cabinets and countertops  that is the time to rearrange the layout/ flow.
