A Trump Tower resident claims her bitter landlord stole her $7,000 Hermes bag, and several other high-end items, after she fell $90,000 behind in rent.
Interior designer Sehra Waheed, 46, snagged a swanky $7,500 a month 2-bed, 2-bath pad on the 18th floor of Trump Tower in Turtle Bay in November 2022 — but by the end of her first month there, her dream digs turned into a money pit when a “promised” business loan to help defray costs didn’t pan out, she claims in a lawsuit filed Aug. 7 in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Her landlord, Trinity Bui, told The Post Waheed did not pay a single penny in rent after moving in, only the security deposit she needed to secure the crib.
A year-long court battle culminated in December 2023 when Bui scored an eviction judgement against her, and movers were brought in.
That’s when Waheed alleges she was robbed.
Her black Hermes Kelly bag was snatched, she claims, along with other designer clothes and accessories that included a Chanel dress and purse, antiques, porcelain and artwork — all in alleged retaliation for the unpaid rent she owed.
“It was such a trauma,” Waheed told The Post.
Waheed believes the landlord, Bui, conspired with managers of the storage facility, Manhattan Mini Storage, and paid them to have her stuff auctioned off.
“Bui intentionally engaged in extreme and outrageous conduct that exceeded all bounds of decency and was atrocious and utterly intolerable in a civilized community,” court documents read.
Bui and Trump Corporation are defendants in the $1.5 million suit.
Bui slammed Waheed as a “con artist” and “scammer.”
“Her job is suing people for extortion money without working to pay her bills,” she said, denying anything went missing or was damaged during the eviction.
The Trump Corporation did not return The Post’s request for comment.
