Ed. Note: if you’re new to TURBOFAC, please take note that the text string filtration function generally shouldn’t be used for terms such as “ordinarily resident,” “causing” or “new debt”. For research on the meaning of words and phrases such as those, i.e. terms central to the key legal issues in sanctions law that appear on a cross-programmatic basis, you’re typically better off locating and checking the appropriate box in the “Key Legal Issues” search category, which will limit the results to those that have been manually assessed as being relevant for the interpretation of the terms at issue.
Try typing your search term (“ordinarily resident,” “new debt,” or something else) in the “Find a Search Filter” box at the top of the page, and the corresponding “Key Legal Issues” check box will pop up instantly, if one exists. Once you check the box (e.g. “new debt,” with ~55 results), you can always use the text string filtration function to further refine your search (e.g. by typing “invoice” and narrowing the ~55 results to ~10).
Note in addition that the same applies to text string searches such as “14071” (if you’re looking for items related to EO 14071). By typing “14071” in the “Find a Search Filter” field up top, you will be able to instantly narrow the results down to items manually assessed as relating to EO 14071. Ditto terms such as “515.204” or “Iran General License G” (try the “Discrete Legal Provision” search category).

1) License illustrative of OFAC's generally favorable, unwritten licensing policy concerning U.S. persons’ receipt of payments (out of “fresh funds”) that are owed by blocked persons in connection with pre-designation activities. Read in conjunction with the cover letter, which denies the request to release funds held by the applicant "as security on [the] commercial lease agreement entered into between" the applicant and the blocked person. Those funds were within the "possession and control" of a blocked person at the time the application was made, and are therefore subject to a different licensing policy than "fresh funds".
2) Note that the applicant landlord requests authorization to "execute on a writ of possession," which in practical terms means the ability to physically evict a tenant. This aspect of the license request to have been granted.
