Nope! The guy just doesn't like being caught out!
He's tight as a duck's arse and will probably question everything you spend money on in the long run, leading to a miserable existence.
As for repeatedly reading your post, I'm astounded. Who does he think he is?
The fact that he's been deliberately deceiving you and outright lying would mean that he'd be gone if it was me. You won't be able to trust him again.
Good job you found out now before moving in with him.
Also, with the renter's rights bill coming, I would not be renting out my property. I've been a landlord for my own property that I used to live in. It's very hard to make any money out of it or even break even. It cost me more than I was getting in for the last 18 months. And it's very stressful if something goes wrong and you need to get it fixed.
My tenants had the oven go on them two days before Christmas even though it was only a few years old. It was a nightmare trying to get hold of a new one so close to Christmas. I tried but I couldn't do it in the end, even if I'd picked one up, there was no electrician available to install it. The earliest I could get it fitted was a week or so later.
Thankfully it was only one part of the oven so they did have one to use and the hob.
Things always seemed to go wrong around bank holidays. I had two plumbers look at the boiler as that kept seeming to go wrong and neither of them could find anything wrong. I had the gas safety done without fail and a service done every year.
One of the plumbers said to me that the way the tenants were talking was that they seemed to be angling for a new boiler to be fitted. I used that boiler myself for another year with no problems whatsoever!
Owning only one property that you're renting out isn't worth it imo.
