What experience do you have handling tenants?
"I've worked with many commercial tenants. They can be a very demanding crowd, but that's fully expected and I can sympathize with them. After all, they're trying to focus on making enough revenue so that they can pay the rent, which is of course used to pay me and the team that keeps that building running smoothly. I've also worked with residential tenants before, in large apartment complexes with 30-60 units. I'm equally comfortable with both kinds of tenants."
This one should be easy! Share what types of tenants you have worked with (residential/commercial/other). Share what your role has been working with tenants, and share how many tenants you are typically working with at one time.

In the last 10 years of my career, my responsibilities have been in building and maintaining census in senior living and commercial leasing. I've developed skills that enable me to be emotionally intelligent and resolve conflict with a win-win resolution.
