In light of the recent passage of the Homeowner Bill of Rights legislation, Assemblymember Tony Mendoza (D-56) will be hosting a free Town Hall meeting this week to help educate his constituents on this topic.

The event, which will be held on Thursday, Sept. 20, 2012 from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Norwalk City Hall (located at 12700 Norwalk Blvd.), will help those in the 56th district find out about this new legisltation and how it can aid them.

“If you are a homeowner, rent a home or just want to become educated on what the Homeowner Bill of Rights is, I welcome you to attend my Town Hall meeting,” said Assemblymember Mendoza.

The new legislation, which was signed into law on July 11, aims to protect homeowners and borrowers during the mortgage and foreclosure process.
