REDDING, Calif. - A former Redding landlord is in hot water today after recent Reddit posts he made were shared across the app.

Charles Pierce is a 70-year-old former landlord of the Manzanita Manor Apartments in Redding. Pierce says he was fired from his role after his reddit posts came to light.

Pierce told Action News Now that under a now-deleted account, he posted that he received mail-in ballots of four previous tenants at the Manzanita Manor Apartments.

In a post to Reddit, Pierce claimed that he used all of the four ballots to cast votes for former President Donald Trump, and to vote “no” on all rent control and school bond measures in Shasta County.

      Property manager, maybe? You don’t get fired from being a landlord, you sell the property.

      He says the situation has been “blown out of proportion” and is “so bogus.”

      Is this what happened to Bill S. Preston, Esq.?

        Property manager is doing an awful lot more than just selling/renting out property.

          Yeah, but in the end you’re just an employee, you shouldn’t really give a shit how much tenants pay, you’re equally getting exploited by the actual landlord. It’s just another case of someone thinking they’re in a different class compared to the one they’re actually in, and voting accordingly.

      And somehow didn’t even own the building if he could be fired? So wasn’t he really more of a building supervisor or something?
