You also get more protection as some landlords can be a pain. There is also a big move away from people wanted to buy leaseholds as you effectively are buying nothing.
That makes total sense and I should know better having lived in apartments in the Middle East for 6 years. My last stint there was so much better as the whole building was owned by one company. The first time the landlord was okay but he had little influence over certain maintenance problems in the building so it took forever to get stuff sorted.
