CJ-2026-1008 - Dash Properties, LLC v. The Healing Hand Collective II, LLC

What's This Case About?

Let’s cut straight to the chaos: a landlord is suing a healing collective for nearly $41,000—mostly for rent and property taxes—while the tenant appears to have ghosted so hard, they didn’t even bother to tell the court they were still alive, let alone running a business. This isn’t just a lease dispute. This is a full-blown spiritual cleanse gone wrong, where the only thing being evicted might be common sense.

On one side, we’ve got Dash Properties, LLC, a Tulsa-based real estate entity with a name that sounds like a rejected energy drink, and Deren Huang, one of its members, who’s riding shotgun on this legal ride. They bought a commercial property back in 2022 from some folks named Gregory and Ellen Cupples—names so wholesome they sound like characters from a 1950s sitcom. The property? 10219 East 49th Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Not exactly Rodeo Drive, but prime real estate for a wellness hustle. On the other side is The Healing Hand Collective II, LLC—a business so committed to metaphysical wellness that it’s now legally inactive, like a yoga instructor who finally admitted they hate downward dog. Their manager, Nick Nahas, is the guy allegedly running this ship, though at this point, he might as well be channeling spirits from another dimension because he’s not answering his mail—or his landlord.

The story starts in August 2020, when the original lease was signed. Back then, the world was still deep in pandemic panic, and people were Googling “crystal healing for anxiety” at 3 a.m. The Healing Hand Collective, presumably flush with CBD oil sales and aura readings, signed on for a three-year lease at $10,100 a month. That’s not chump change for a holistic healing spot—especially in Tulsa. But hey, maybe they had a waiting list for reiki sessions. Fast forward to July 2022: Dash Properties buys the building and inherits the lease like a cursed artifact. Then, in August 2023, The Healing Hand Collective renews the lease. Not just a handshake and a “we’re cool,” but a full legal renewal. Which means someone—probably Nick Nahas—looked at a contract, signed it, and said, “Yes, I will pay $10,100 every month for the next three years.” Bold move for a business that, by early 2026, apparently stopped paying anything.

Because here’s where it gets juicy. According to the petition, the tenant hasn’t just missed a payment or two. They’ve allegedly stiffed the landlord for $40,115 in unpaid rent and property taxes. Let’s be clear: property taxes aren’t just “extra.” In commercial leases, tenants often pay them directly because, surprise, the landlord doesn’t want to fund the city’s pothole repairs for a business that sells sage bundles. But The Healing Hand Collective didn’t just skip rent—they allegedly ignored their tax obligations, too. And not in a “forgot to mail the check” way. More like a “we’ve ascended beyond material concerns” kind of way. The filing even includes a formal notice dated February 3, 2026—yes, the same day the lawsuit was filed—giving them 10 days to pay up $29,865 or get booted. Which is… aggressive. It’s like sending a breakup text and a restraining order at the same time.

Now, why are we in court? Two reasons, both wrapped in legalese but simple enough for a tarot reader to understand. First: breach of contract. The Healing Hand signed a lease. They agreed to pay rent and taxes. They didn’t. That’s the legal equivalent of promising to adopt a rescue dog and then leaving it at the shelter with a note that says “I’m not ready for commitment.” Second: forcible entry and detainer—a fancy term for “get out, we want the keys back.” Oklahoma law lets landlords fast-track eviction when tenants default, especially in commercial cases where there’s no “security of tenure” like with residential renters. So Dash Properties isn’t just asking for money—they want the building back, stat. And they want it now, before The Healing Hand Collective starts charging $200 for “sound bath therapy” in their parking lot.

The damages? $40,915. That’s $40,115 in past-due payments, plus $800 for legal costs—though let’s be real, Hall, Estill, Hardwick, Gable, Golden & Nelson, P.C. (yes, that’s a real law firm name, and no, we don’t know how many partners it takes to remember it) probably billed way more than that. Is $41K a lot? For a commercial tenant in Tulsa, maybe not catastrophic—we’re not talking Tesla-level debt. But for a healing collective? That’s a lot of overpriced essential oils. At $10,100 a month, this space likely housed multiple practitioners, massage rooms, maybe even a juice bar. Losing that kind of overhead could tank a small wellness business. But here’s the kicker: The Healing Hand Collective is inactive with the state. They haven’t filed annual reports. They’re legally a ghost. So either someone’s operating a business under a dead name (risky), or they’ve been running on spiritual energy alone (dangerous).

And what do the plaintiffs want? Money, yes. But more than that—they want possession. They want the right to change the locks, toss out any remaining crystals, and maybe lease the place to a tire shop or a vape store. They also want attorney’s fees, which in Oklahoma commercial leases is totally allowed if the contract says so—which it does. So The Healing Hand Collective isn’t just on the hook for rent; they might owe thousands more in legal bills. All because someone thought “I’ll pay later” was a viable financial strategy.

Now, our take? The most absurd part isn’t the amount. It’s the audacity. You don’t renew a lease in 2023 and then, three years later, vanish like a medium at the end of a séance. You don’t ignore certified mail from a law firm with a name longer than a Sanskrit mantra. And you especially don’t skip out on property taxes—because the government will come for that money, with interest, and they don’t care if your chakras are aligned.

Are we rooting for the landlord? Sure. They bought a property, inherited a tenant, and expected to get paid. That’s how capitalism works—even in the wellness economy. But part of us wonders: what happened to The Healing Hand Collective? Did the universe send them a sign to quit? Did their clients stop believing in energy healing? Or did they just run out of sage and motivation? If they show up in court with a defense like “we were vibing at a higher frequency,” we might have to start a podcast about it.

Until then, this case is a reminder: even if your business runs on crystals and good intentions, the rent is still due on the first. And if you don’t pay? The court doesn’t care how zen you are. They’ll evict you with paperwork, not peace.
