#Illusionary
A New York woman says she was scammed out of over $10,000 after a state report listed a man she’s never heard of as the tenant of her apartment
A Bronx tenant says her landlord charged her more than the legal rent on her rent-stabilized apartment for about three years by listing a stranger as the official tenant. Court (@court0o0) calls it an “illusionary tenant scam,” and her TikTok explaining it has tens of thousands of views. In the caption, she says she was scammed “out of over $10k.” Her landlord hasn’t responded publicly, and her account hasn’t been independently verified. Court says she signed a real lease and paid rent every month to the landlord’s management company. Nothing seemed off until the issue came up during a housing court case. She then ordered her apartment’s report from the DHCR and found a man listed as the legal tenant from the day she moved in. She says she has never heard of him and doesn’t know if he exists. The report also put the legal rent at about $200 less than she’s been paying. The way she describes it, a landlord registers a collaborator or a made-up person with the DHCR at the legal rent, while the real tenant signs a separate lease at a higher price. Court admits she’s “still a little lost” on why. After her first post about it, she says, so many people messaged her with similar stories that she realized how common it is. Problems at home have gone viral before, including a woman who said a hole appeared in her ceiling while she was in the shower. Several commenters on this video tagged New York City’s mayor. ## Viewers tag Mayor Mamdani and promote a housing rally Two commenters tagged Zohran Mamdani’s account under the video. Neither mentioned the DHCR or rent stabilization rules, and one of the tags came with no other text. > @court0o0 > > if you’re renting in NYC stop to listen while i explain what an illusionary tenant scam is and how it works! (so you don’t get scammed out of over $10k like i did!) let’s start reporting landlords and holding them accountable 2026 #landlordproblems #landlords #nycapartment #nyc #scammed > > ♬ original sound – court The other wrote “boy do we have a re-election campaign for you!” along with the tag. A separate reply promoted an Oct. 21 rally in Washington, D.C., to “DEMAND housing as a human right.” That commenter asked people who couldn’t attend to share their stories with #HousingNow. ## Court responds to a comment about her English “Wow you speak perfect English,” one viewer wrote. The comment didn’t mention rent or the landlord, and it’s one of the few in the thread that Court answered. She laughed it off in her reply. Court wrote that she “taught preschool and ESL for awhile,” so she took the remark as “a great compliment.” Toward the end of the video, Court tells other rent-stabilized tenants to request their apartment’s paperwork through the DHCR website and check who is listed as the tenant. An unfamiliar name or a missing one is a red flag, she says, as is a legal rent far below what they pay with no explanation. She suggests taking the records to legal aid or someone at housing court. A landlord found to have broken the rules could owe “up to three times the amount that you overpaid,” she says, though the process “can take years.”

The challenge is often greater with humans because we tend to project innocense to dogs (by which i dont mean that this is wrong or illusionary), where as if someone loses a limb because of alcoholism, then oftea question of whether they deserve it, is raised.

I agree with Korhonen here, though.
There is something endearing in the world where people make prosthetics for pets.

Of course, all humans in need should also be cared for. But I for one believe that kindness is not a scarce resource that ought to be rationed, but a strength that grows with use.

National: spinning illusionary tales since 2023

Not surprised they used AI here, National hate real artists, have cut funding to Ministry of Culture/Heritage, Te Papa, Creative NZ, Heritage, Film commission etc

What I loved about DS1 was it's healing system through Estus Flasks, its bosses, the exploration and secrets hidden behind illusionary walls.
I also loved that it didn't hold your hand too much and didn't push too many cut scenes onto you which has become a gripe of mine over the years.

Absolutely not diminished:our norms&laws aren’t. Mathematically,scientifically; morally or spiritually impossible to grasp thus illusionary;anysoul starstruck by the malignant narcissist&his pedo-enabling loser maga repubs in congress misfits' think,that we’re losing should be ashamed of themselves!
The norms we miss aren’t gone, they’re waiting for us at the ballot box.

Further more , as a self- identifying Buddhist I’m surprised she hasn’t grasped the concept of the “Self” as being a transitory and illusionary construct.

But there you go .

What an awful monster .

Day 2 - Favorite First Level Theme

Being a TH fan is hard nowadays due to the creator’s recent decisions, but the music still slaps. That being said, I’m choosing a song from the early windows era: Illusionary Night ~ Ghostly Eyes!

(Ignore the fact it was a CD Song first)

#DanielleSmith: your #narcissistic #illusionary mindset is being exposed every time you open your mouth.

To have an openly separatist caucus member on your team means you support his separatist ideology.
Just like NOT cancelling the referendum means the same thing.

#Albertans aren't stupid!🙄

Vassy: When you say that your caucus is united, that's blatantly false. It's not. Why is this individual who wants to effectively break up the country allowed to remain in your caucus?

Tra!t0r Smith: You don't have unanimous agreement on 100% of the things 100% of the times.

Really???🤦🏽‍♂️

Trump’s approval number is illusionary. Republicans disapprove of how he embarrasses them, not any actual policies or crimes. Nearly everybody who currently still identifies as a member of the Republican Party will side with Trump, although their integrity may allow them to criticize mean tweets.

get it twisted any sense of stability and permanence is illusionary and any aspiration aligned with achieving the littlest trace of that is wasted time get it twisted we exist not in space but in time and it's constantly transforming motion is the territory in which we dwell and thrive as beings

The rejoin campaign has work to do on Freedom of Movement (though support is already high), and on joining the Euro and Schengen, but these are issues that can be addressed.

The economic, social, and geopolitical arguments for rejoining the EU are far greater that any illusionary Brexit benefit.
