My car randomly started peeing in our kitchen in the corner. I moved his litter box there and he'd just pee right beside it. It's to the point I have to lock him in a room by himself at night, which I hate to do, but that doesn't even always work. Nothing's really changed. We had to move his litter box once because our landlords were coming over, but we moved it back exactly the way it was, and shortly after that he started peeing in the kitchen.
What can I do to stop this behaviour? I've tried using spray to make him stop peeing there and Calm Away cat diffuser too, but neither of those have done anything. If you have any ideas or word of advice it'd be much appreciated!

Try changing the cat litter. Sometimes they dont like the way it feels on their feet.
Any time animals have changes in bladder habits, I always talk to the vet to make sure there is not a UTI.
If he gets a clean bill of health, you may want to change litter to see if that helps.
Post back with an update.
In 60% to 70% of cases where cats quit using their litter box there is a physical reason for it. It usually a urinary tract infection. But it can be kidney problems or other things. Cats that have been declawed often develop severe arthritis in their backs as they age that makes it hard to step up and into the litter box. They may need a box with lower sides. You really need to see your Vet to figure it out.
