Tell him not a good fit or you are going to have him, his friends, his son's, and his son's friends all out there. Also, he is demanding you write up a set of rules on YOUR lease. BYE!

We had this situation last year, one guy was letting his 16 year old son go to the lease by himself, he was all over our trail cameras riding around with his friends, smoking cigarettes in blinds, shooting stuff and not logging it in to the kill book...we had to get the landowner involved to put a stop to it. The printed rule read "All guests must be accompanied by a lease member at all times", the guy just didn't understand the difference between "lease member" and "family member" and "guest". We bought his spot for this year, little more money but a lot less worry.

I will be the first to say, I am not a fan of all kinds of lease rules. However, having written lease rules keeps everyone on the same page and understanding what is expected, for everyone.
I know it's your lease and you make the rules, that sentiment is evident on this thread, whether or not you put them in writing is the difference. Playing the devil's advocate, you may not want to post them as you could be a violater? The last two instances of lease rule infractions that I dealt with in SE Texas involved the lease managers breaking the very rules that they adamantly enforced to everyone else on the lease. It goes both ways. I can understand your point but written rules keep everyone on the same page.

Had to think about our "rules" at our family camp... we're pretty lighthearted!
At camp:
-have fun
-Cut wood if the stack is low
-Clean the dishes if you're leaving
-don't sit in my wife's field
-don't sit in my SIL's field
-don't lock the gate
-no beer cans in the trash (crush and recycle)
Hunting:
-have fun
-try to make it an 8 point or better and outside the ears (15") for adults. You'll get harrassed if you kill a dinky one...
-kids shoot any deer
