SC-2025-44 - Apache Pines, LLC. v. Scottie Rose and all occupants

What's This Case About?

Let’s cut straight to the drama: a landlord is suing a tenant for an unspecified amount of unpaid rent—yes, you read that right—$__________—and also for damages that are, according to the court filing, unknown. That’s like showing up to a fight with a water gun and a blindfold and saying, “I definitely got you, I just don’t know how wet you are yet.” This isn’t just a lawsuit. It’s a legal ghost story: Who owes what? What’s broken? And why is no one telling us anything?

Enter Apache Pines, LLC—the plaintiff, the landlord, the corporate entity with a name that sounds like a budget motel off I-44 with aspirations of being a wellness retreat. Represented by attorney Tracey E. Persons (OBA#15395, because of course she has a bar number), Apache Pines is the proud owner of a patch of real estate in Tulsa, Oklahoma, specifically a lot at 2441 N Harvard Ave, Lot #60. And living—or, more accurately, allegedly overstaying—on that lot is one Scottie Rose, a name that sounds like it was pulled from a Southern Gothic novel or a country song about heartbreak and trailer parks. Scottie isn’t alone, either—this lawsuit drags in “all occupants,” which could mean a roommate, a pet iguana with lease rights, or a rotating cast of relatives who showed up for Thanksgiving and never left. The court doesn’t say, and frankly, neither do we.

So what happened? Well, according to the filing—sworn under oath by the attorney, which is… a choice—the defendant “owes the plaintiff $__________ for rent.” That blank space isn’t a typo. It’s in the actual legal document. It’s like the landlord showed up at the courthouse and said, “Yeah, they didn’t pay. How much? I dunno. Fill it in later.” There’s no lease attachment, no rent ledger, no email trail saying, “Your rent is overdue, Scottie.” Just a bold-faced blank, like the legal equivalent of a Mad Lib. And then, to top it off, there’s “$unknown for damages to premises.” Not “$500 for a broken window.” Not “$1,200 for ruined carpet.” Just… unknown. Did Scottie Rose turn the place into a meth lab? Host a rodeo in the living room? Set it on fire to keep warm? We don’t know. The plaintiff doesn’t know. But someone’s paying.

Now, let’s talk about how we got here. Apache Pines claims they demanded payment. They demanded possession. Scottie Rose allegedly refused both. So now, the LLC is invoking one of the oldest legal weapons in the landlord’s arsenal: Forcible Entry and Detainer. Which sounds like a medieval siege tactic, but in Oklahoma, it’s just the fancy legal term for “get out, you’re evicted.” The goal isn’t to win a million bucks—it’s to get the keys back. The relief sought? Injunctive relief—meaning the court orders Scottie Rose to vacate. No trial by combat, just a judge saying, “You’re done here.”

And what does Apache Pines want? Well, they want possession of the property—obviously. They also want a judgment for the rent (whatever it is), the damages (whatever those are), and oh, by the way, court costs and attorney’s fees. But here’s the kicker: there’s no total demand listed. No dollar amount. No breakdown. Just a legal black hole where money should be. Is this $500? $5,000? $50,000? For a single lot in Tulsa, even if the place is a total loss, $50,000 would be wild—that’s more than some people pay for a house. But without numbers, we’re left guessing. And in civil court, guessing is not a legal strategy. It’s a red flag.

Now, let’s talk about the where. The property description is a masterpiece of bureaucratic poetry: “2441 N HARVARD TULSA COUNTY UNLIMITED SEC 4215 & 40E NW4 NWTH N206 E10 N4 E150 NW1 E343 S41 NWOD POB LOTS SEC 4215 3 40E NW4 NWTH N206 E10 S206 W10 POB SEC 28 SW1 NW1 3597 LOT 3.” This isn’t a property description—it’s a GPS coordinates riddle written by someone who hates happiness. It looks like the land equivalent of a Dungeons & Dragons map. Good luck, Sheriff, trying to serve that.

The case was filed on December 2, 2024—right before the holidays, which feels… strategic. Nothing says “I want you out” like filing an eviction petition two weeks before Christmas. The hearing is set for January 14, 2025, in Courtroom Six at the Juvenile Justice Center, which, let’s be honest, is a mood. It’s like the legal system is saying, “We’re dealing with adults, but the building says otherwise.” And if Scottie Rose doesn’t show? Automatic judgment. The sheriff gets a writ of assistance—which sounds like a magical scroll—and kicks them out. No appeal. No second chances. Just gone.

So what’s our take? Look, we’re not here to defend deadbeat tenants or villainize landlords. Rent should be paid. Properties should be respected. But this filing? This is a mess. You can’t sue someone for an undisclosed amount of money and expect the court to take you seriously. It’s like walking into a restaurant, eating a full meal, and telling the waiter, “Just put it on my tab—I’ll pay whatever I feel like later.” The legal system runs on facts, not vibes. And right now, Apache Pines, LLC is running on vibes.

The most absurd part? Not the blank rent amount. Not the “unknown” damages. It’s that the attorney signed this under oath. Tracey E. Persons stood before a notary and swore that Scottie Rose owes “$__________” in rent. That’s not just sloppy—it’s legally borderline absurd. Did they forget to fill in the form? Was the number lost in a printer jam? Did someone say, “Eh, the judge’ll figure it out”? And yet, here we are. This is a real case. With a real docket number. With a real court date.

Do we root for the tenant? Not necessarily. Do we root for the landlord to get their property back if they’re truly owed? Sure. But we really root for someone—anyone—to bring a spreadsheet to court. A lease. A receipt. A photo of the alleged damage. Something. Anything. Because right now, this case isn’t about justice. It’s about a blank check with a court seal.

And if Scottie Rose did destroy the place? If they really trashed the lot and vanished like a ghost? Then fine—evict ‘em. But prove it. Show the math. Stop treating the court like your personal collection agency with judicial powers.

Until then, this case is less Forcible Entry and Detainer and more Forcible Guessing Game. And honestly? We’re just here for the drama.
