agree  Sebastian Lopez: Exacto! La palabra "contado" pertenece a la segunda parte de la oración y concuerdo con la traducción: "AS OF/ AS FROM"...que significa: que se empezará a contar a partir de la entrada en vigor de dicha ley

agree  claudia mestre: e.g. The Act applies to all tenancy agreements as if there was a written agreement existing between the landlord and the tenant......http://www.duhaime.org/LegalResources/RealEstateTenancy/tabi...

agree  John Rynne: yes, but Asker confused things. See http://www.boe.es/g/es/bases_datos/doc.php?coleccion=iberlex... . "alcanzará" has nothing to do with the "tres años" bit at all.
