Good Stuff Happens in 1:1 Meetings: Why you need them and how to do them well
The Last Tenant
1. The Last Tenant
[The scene opens in an apartment complex. A young
woman, Rachel, is seen walking through the courtyard and
approaching the building's front entrance.]
Rachel: (to herself) I can't believe I'm actually moving out
of this place. It's been my home for the past three years.
[Rachel enters the building and approaches the apartment
manager's office. She knocks on the door.]
Apartment Manager: (from inside) Come in!
[Rachel enters the office and approaches the manager,
who is sitting at a desk.]
Rachel: Hi, I'm Rachel. I'm here to turn in my keys and
officially move out.
Apartment Manager: (smiling) Hi Rachel, it's nice to meet
you. I'm sorry to see you go. You've been such a great
tenant.
Rachel: (smiling) Thank you. I've really enjoyed living
here.
2. Apartment Manager: (handing Rachel some paperwork)
Here are the forms you need to fill out to officially turn in
your keys and vacate the apartment.
Rachel: (taking the paperwork) Okay, I'll fill these out and
be on my way.
Apartment Manager: (nodding) Sounds good. If you have
any questions, just let me know.
Rachel: (filling out the paperwork) Actually, I was
wondering if you could tell me a little bit about the last
tenant who lived in my apartment.
Apartment Manager: (pausing) The last tenant? That
would have been Mr. Smith. He lived here for a few years
before moving out about a year ago.
Rachel: (interested) Oh, really? Do you know why he
moved out?
Apartment Manager: (shrugging) I'm not sure. He never
really said much about it. I think he just decided to move
on to a different apartment.
Rachel: (nodding) Okay, thanks for the information.
3. Apartment Manager: (smiling) No problem. I'm glad you
enjoyed living here, Rachel. Good luck in your new place.
Rachel: (smiling) Thanks, I'll miss this place. Bye!
[The scene ends with Rachel exiting the apartment
manager's office and walking out of the building, carrying a
box of her belongings.]
