10. Tell me a bad situation or an experience that stayed with you forever and helped you grow in regards to your experience/time at the property management place. For example: The thought of reading and following instructions irritates me. One day, I received a notice from the HOA that they did not give authorization for my tenant to move in. I thought to myself, “what does that have to do with me” so I ignored it because the owner gave me authorization. Two weeks later, I received a call from my tenant. She was angry and wanted to know why she was being evicted. I had no clue what she was talking about. I told her to disregard the notice because it wasn’t from our office. A few weeks went by and I get another call from my tenant. This time the police was there to kick them out. That day I was very confused. I was accused of being a fraud and dishonest person, but that was far from the truth. This was a lesson learned. As of today, I will read the same document twice and I am careful to follow the instructions provided by the HOA. If I come across something that I’m not familiar with I will ask my Team Leader to help me understand. I will never forget this event because I destroyed a family, but it changed me to improve my skills for the better.
