WWJ13 do? landlord/tenant issues

Ladies, I need some advice. This is going to get long, and forgive me..I'm on mobile.
We own a home in Texas. Its been vacant since December when we moved out. We've continued to make our mortgage payments, and the utilities have been on just in case the realtors needed to use them to show the house.
We are renting our home that we arecurrently in.
We are stretched tight financially, with only 1 income, two houses, car payments, utilities, ect..ect.
We finally had 5 applications on or home in Texas for rentals only. We were thrilled to finally have this financial Burdon lifted for a year.
Our tenants moved in on the 16th of this month.
They paid a security deposit, pet deposit and partial rent since they moved in, in the middle of the month.
I got a call from the renter, claiming the AC doesn't work and the alarm system is beeping. I tried to trouble shoot it over the phone, but he claimed it didn't work. I called ADT, and my AC guy, and all was well.
Or so I thought......
I received an email from my property manager saying my tenant is UN happy with the home. He is claiming their are fire hazards and health hazards.
The reason why the alarm was beeping was because the wires on the window are out of the sensors causing the beeping which is no longer an issue. He claims his fiancee got shocked by them. *eye roll*
He claims the roof is leaking, so I'm having my roofer go tomorrow to look. I had a brand new roof put on in September.
The tile for the roof was left in a bundle in the back yard by the rock wall. We were very busy moving andspaced moving the tile into the shed.
He wants to break his lease because if these things, because the house was listed as"move in ready" and ge feels its not.
He hired realtors to take pictures of the house before he moved in, since he came from out of state. He signed the lease, before looking at the house himself.
I kinda want to let him go, because I really don't want a renter in my home who's not happy and more then likely not take care if my home.
I'm getting those minor things fixed, but he still wants to leave.
At the same time...life doesn't work this way. You can't sign a lease then change your mind about it. That's not fair on me.
What should I do?? What would you do? Anyone rent their home before? How would you handle this?
He signed a year lease. He's offered to let me keep the deposit, and last months rent.
I've now spent all this money to repair things he felt concern with. I've gotta change all my locks in the house, and I'm back to square 1 finding new tenants.
This is so frustrating and ridiculous.

Can you hold him to his lease while you put it up for sale?

I know he doesn't have any leg to stand on if we did go to court over it, but i don't have the patience to deal with this....this far away.
I might as well just get rid of him now before he causes more issues later on.
Crossing fingers that i sell it, or find renters that are not dead beats.
