## What do you think? Question:

![rv-lot-florida.jpg](http://www.condoassociation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/rv-lot-florida.jpg?width=320&name=rv-lot-florida.jpg "rv-lot-florida.jpg")I bought an RV lot in the middle of the Ocala National Forest.

Prior to buying the lot, I rented for 6 months in the park and was given a sheet of basic rules when I checked into the park.

 Upon closing my lot, I was never given any bylaws, governing documents or any additional rules or anything else.

Am I bound to the bylaws & governing documents, since I knew nothing of them? I was never given any documents by anyone to read, let alone agree to them.

Had I known then what I know now, I would never had bought a lot.
