Property owners will get a chance to learn how to rescue their homes from the soft real estate market today at a free resource fair that covers every imaginable topic from landlord/tenant law to preventing foreclosures.

"It's a free, daylong event. It's open to the public, to any property owners that want to educate themselves about the resources available and get free legal information from experts," said Jennifer Shaw, property owner resource manager at the Metropolitan Boston Housing Partnership, which is hosting the event.
