Older workers and retirees looking to shed the burden of home maintenance, or augment their retirement savings with the proceeds from a house sale are choosing to rent. And many millennials have no choice but to rent -- they are stuck in cities with high rents and unable to save for retirement or put a dent in their student loans or accrue money for a down payment on a house.
