Neither is correct. If you have a lease for a fixed term, you can't break it without penalty before the term is up, unless you can show that the landlord is in effect evicting YOU by allowing others to threaten you. So you have to put the landlord on notice of the other tenants' conduct and give him time to respond and solve the problem before you can move out. If your lease is month-to-month, then all you have to do is give the proper period of notice, and it doesn't matter what the reason is. Check with your state or city's Landlord-Tenant Affairs office or Office of the Attorney General.

The other posts here are generally correct. You do have to give notice. If you just leave without notice, you can be held monetarily liable for either breaking the lease or giving insufficient notice.
However, if your landlord has a soul, talk to him/her. Tell your landlord that you have received threats and that you would like to move forthwith. Any reasonable landlord will either 1) take action against those who threatened you or 2) allow you to leave without grief.
Communication with your landlord here is key. Also, keep in mind that the landlord in certain situations may be liable for your safety. If you are being threatened, your landlord may have an obligation to take reasonable steps to protect the premises and, by extension, you. This problem may be solved if you and your landlord work together.

If you don't give notice, the landlord can and mostly likely will hold you liable for rent by holding your deposit. If your family is being threatened, you should report those threats to the proper authorities. The landlord will hold you to the terms of the lease.

You are obligated by your lease agreement ( I'm sure ) to give at least 30 days notice before you vacate the premesis. Unless you are waived of the lease agreement by the land lord or the courts.

I'm sure you'd need to file a police report first.
If the problem persists you'll probably then have resources to take action!
Good Luck!

depends on your lease and how you want to handle this. I suggest do it so that you do not have legal problems later on.

Can't improve on what's been said already.
