This problem is based the rights of the lessee and duties of the lessor as well as the
remedies available to either party for breach.
It is evident that there is a tenancy agreement between Oliver and Stanley for 2 years
which means that Oliver has exclusive possession of the house for the duration subject to the implied obligations of the lessee.
Since Stanley's wife is not privy to the lease agreement she has over stepped her mandate by threatening to evict and storming the house.
Oliver has reason to feel aggrieved as his right to quiet possession of the house has been
violated.
My advise to Oliver is to sue Stanley?s wife for an injunction to restrain her
from interfering with the quiet enjoyment of the house.

three musicians.
