Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Its my understanding that under § 95.11(2)(b)-(c), Florida Statute, “a legal or equitable action on a contract, obligation, or liability founded on a written instrument” or “action to foreclose a mortgage” must be brought within 5 years of the date of the first missed payment.

If those five years have passed, prior to a homeowners association filing a lien and foreclosing on it, can the defense of continuing obligation be used by the association to toll the SOL?
