The issue before this Court is the exact issue raised in Aventura Management, LLC, v. Spiaggia Ocean Condominium Association, Inc., 105 So.3d 637 (Fla. 3d DCA 2013), where we held that under section 718.116(1)(a), Florida Statutes (2009), there is no exception to be made for joint and several liability for unpaid assessments that come due up to the transfer of title when the “previous owner” is the condominium association. We therefore reverse the order under review on the authority of Aventura Management.
