Landlord trying to force me to sign new tenancy agreement

He literally cannot force you to sign a new tenancy at this point. You have less than 1 month to go until your tenancy becomes a statutory periodic tenancy, the LL CANNOT prevent it.
If I'm honest given that he is being a !!!! about it I'd be tempted to find somewhere else to live, and leave on the last day of the tenancy with no notice to the landlord, just hand back keys on last day.
That's probably more effort than it's worth though, but at this point he is too late to evict you via S21 before you end up on a periodic tenancy.0 -
My god, some LL's are @rses; I have yet to hear of an LA who is not.
Please, OP, listen to Pixie; she is a landlady so knows whereof she speaks. For whatever it's worth, the (admittedly brain-bogglingly useless) LL of the property attached to ours has failed to evict his non-rent-paying tenant for at least 18 months.
My suggestion would be to sit tight and house hunt every spare minute you get. Go and visit some estate agents in person (yes) it still counts, even in this cyber day and age.0
