1. More flexibility
One of the leading reasons why people prefer to rent a space rather than own it is that it gives them more flexibility. If something happens, such as switching jobs, moving to a different city, or simply getting bored and wanting to switch things up, it’s easy to do. It’s a lot harder to sell a house than to break a lease. Besides that, it’s also a lot quicker.
Even if you don’t quit your lease early, renting establishes clear boundaries on which you can base important lifestyle choices. For instance, there are many people who like to know that they only have to put up with their living arrangement and/or location for about a year if they ultimately regret it. And that’s something that makes them motivated to choose better the next time.

I’ve lived in an apartment for the last 10 years after being a homeowner for many, many years. The one thing I would add to your list for older adults is safety living in a secure building.
Agree with that statement. Older adults need to be aware of their surroundings, especially when living in a place where there are many people you are unfamiliar with. Thank you.
When you rent, you are at the mercy of the landlord. Some landlords are in no hurry to fix things.
