On my lease, the only thing it states is that he (or an attorney) can enter and hold the premises if we don't pay rent; it doesn't say anything about reporting me to a credit agency. He's calling now and threatening me by saying he's going to report me and my roommates to a credit agency. Can he?

Of course he can report late payment and breach of contract to a credit bureau. He doesn't need your permission to do that, nor do you need to be made aware that he will do so.
Credit reporting is a fact of the business world. If you do not want your credit file besmirched, then you must honor your financial obligations in a timely fashion.

Of course he can, but only if you owe him money. He can not report late rent, just unpaid rent or property damage.

Yes, ANYONE can report to a credit company that you owe them money. Even if you DON'T owe them any money.. Then you have to show proof you don't.
