Smell of acetone/varnish coming from under fridge?

Live in rented flat and fridge is built into the kitchen unit so can’t investigate myself would have to get landlord to get someone out.

Anyway, since yesterday there’s been a strong smell of acetone in our flat (open plan living room and kitchen) We live above a kitchen showroom and they’re currently having work done switching out their displays so I just assumed it was coming from them. Opened windows and it went away. Then later that day as I closed the windows, the smell returned - I sniffed around a bit and found it was strongest around the skirting board that runs along the bottom of our kitchen units, including the fridge (though there’s a little grate/vent bit in the skirting board beneath the fridge) Googled it and it said refrigerant could be leaking? Is this likely? Is it dangerous? Should we be moving to a hotel for the next couple of days?
