Ex-tenant told me everything was fine, but I found out…

I moved into a pre-occupied flat. Before moving in, I spoke to the previous tenant and he told me everything was fine with the room. I even came over and checked the place, so I assumed everything was in order.
The only thing i apparently didn’t check was the AC.
Today, after moving in, I turned on the AC and found out that it had multiple holes and all the gas had leaked out. I ended up spending ₹4,500 on repairing it and getting the gas refilled.
I called the previous tenant and asked him about it, thinking maybe he knew about the issue. His response was basically, “Mujhe bhi jab AC mila tha tab aisa hi tha.”
And honestly, that frustrated me more. 😭
Like bro, if you already knew the AC was in that condition, you could’ve just told me before I moved in. I could’ve asked the landlord to fix it beforehand or at least been mentally prepared for the expense.
Am I overreacting, or was it reasonable to expect him to inform me about something like this?
