My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California
Basically what the topic title says. If you move out before a UD case goes to court what happens? Do you still get evicted?
Thanks in advance.

Eviction isn't going to happen, but you still could be held liable for monetary damages (unpaid rent, etc...). Do not blow off your court date.
I'm not sure what you mean by "basic grounds." You need to respond to the claims the landlord put forth. That you didn't do what the landlord said or you had legal cause to do so.When filing an answer for an unlawful detainer what kind of information should be included? Should a tenant provide all the details or just state some basic grounds?
If the landlord does not know that the tenant has vacated or if the tenant defaults, the landlord could still seek and obtain an eviction judgment.
If a tenant wants to work out a deal where the tenant moves out by an agreed date in exchange for dismissal of the eviction case, teh tenant should work out that deal with the landlord's lawyer and get written confirmation of the deal.
Thanks again.
