multiple adverbial phrases in a single sentence: A moonlight flit
When it comes to composing sentences which contain multiple adverbial phrases, I am often at a loss as to the best way to accomplish this. There is an expression in English, a moonlight flit, which is used to describe a situation in which a person leaves/moves out of a rented property late at night, in a hurry and without notice, usually in order to avoid paying rent that is owed to the landlord. I have constructed a couple of sentences meant to express this same idea in Spanish, and I was hoping that someone might be so kind as to critique them for me:
?Se marchó deprisa y de madrugada, sin previo aviso y sin pagar el alquiler.
?Se mudó en las primeras horas de la mañana, deprisa y corriendo para evitar pagar el alquiler.
?Se mudó apresuradamente, en plena noche, sin dar una noticia al propietario y sin que el contrato de arrendamiento se venciera.
Thanks to everyone beforehand.

This looks pretty good to me... in the last one I'd say "sin dar noticia al propietario"... the "una" sounds unnecessary... but everything is quite good!
