I think it's fair to say that the Gazette writers didn't really capture the nuance of what Liesl was communicating, when it comes to the Des Moines area specifically. 

Only the entity that owns the property has any authority over the property, or any business communicating with tenants, unless it is the management co. 

I’d issue a second pay or quit notice on Monday just to clarify.I’m very concerned when someone is late and doesn’t communicate.

Have clear communication.

If you don't care how it looks you could put it in conduit and surface mount the conduit and paint it to match the wall color.I would get someone to tackle this immediately and communicate with your tenants so they know you are working on the problem.I would make sure your heat is handled first if this is affected.Then work on any other 240VAC circuits such as dryers, stoves and hot water heaters if applicable.Then get the lights last.I would try and do this without moving tenants out.I just had a 2 story house rewired and it took a week but they worked around the one guy that was living there and he was very understanding of the situation.

Whether it's contractors, lawyers, suppliers or partners, I always try to meet with and communicate with these people several different times before agreeing to do business with them. .

His site is https://mercercpas.com/He's not specialized in RE but he is in general a good CPA that communicates with you and works with you through issues. 

You need these to get a better search placement on VRBO.You need great pictues to get whats listed above.Once you start getting 5 star reviews you can start raising your prices to market rates and beyond.Make sure you get 5 start reviews by having great communication with your guests both before during and after their stay.

@Anthony Wick amazing what a little communication and understanding will do.

Also slack may be a good option for communication within the group.
