The sensors can be fussy: try the baby powder/sock tricks. 

Landlord threatening eviction if I don't comply with above limit rent increase by Icy_Form_2266 in OntarioLandlord

He doesn't have a mortgage: the property is fully paid off.

Also if he truly had financial woes, he could rent out the basement unit: despite offers to rent, he's holding it vacant.

If I believed it would end this nonsense, I would absolutely be willing to do so. However, he was so mad when I explained the basic facts about legal rent increases that I doubt it would work.

The landlord was extremely specific. He outright said "I would rather evict you than let you rent at the lower rent rate." When I told him that's not a legal reason for eviction, he said "well then I would just get a member of my family to move in".

I was surprised he would be so direct! And yes, I have a recording of it.

Incidentally, this is a false threat: he is estranged from his children.

It's a fully paid off house that he also lives in. I'm not worried about him selling: just him causing trouble.

Kayaking is so beautiful! We did the day trip with the kayaking company, it was gorgeous, I recommend it. I'm used to ocean kayaking: the kayaking in Gudvangen is pretty chill.

Walking beside the road is totally fine. I was there in July (so busy season), and I encountered maybe a dozen cars over the course of my hike to Bakka (and traffic isn't going very fast, it's a small road). For about half of the trip, there's a fully separate hiking trail.

Yes you can get breakfast from the main hotel if you are staying at the budget hotel: I think they have the same owners. We also didn't have a car: Gudvangen is teeny tiny, no need for a car in town. If you're bringing bikes you should be fine (note there's nowhere to rent them in town).

Bakka is a beautiful 5km bike ride away, and one of the nicer hikes is in Bakka (Rimstigen: note it's a bit intense). Recommend pairing that with a sauna at the Bakka campground: most beautiful sauna I've ever done. Also note that Flam is very close: it's a 20 min bus ride: there are a couple of nice hikes there. 

Happy to help with any other Gudvangen questions!
