JennyO,
I wish I were there to help you. Meantime, get yourself and your most prized possessions out of there safely. I would not stick around after giving them the news. But I would not give them the courtesy of notice either.
If something should "happen" to your frig or dishwasher or whatever, remember they can be replaced. The loss is well worth the cost of replacing them if it means you can live safely and happily.
PM an address. A housewarming gift is in order.
