I would have thought that the landlord would evict you before that... maybe CA is different. Pay the rent asap.

Please ignore most of these d00bs. You won't be arrested!
What has happened is that your landlord has filed an Unlawful Detainer suit against you in an attempt to evict you. If you fail to show in court, he or she will win a default judgement against you. About 5 days after the judgement is rendered, the sheriff will show up at your door and move you and all of your posessions out into the street.
If it's just for simple late rent, you might be able to stop the eviction by paying the back rents BEFORE the hearing date. If you're habitually late, the judge may not accept that and evict you anyway, assuming that you show up in court.
Again, you can NOT be arrested for not showing up for the court date. You WILL be evicted if you fail to show.
You have three choices. In order of preference:
1. Get an attorney and try and fight the eviction.
2. Move out now. Your landlord has already sent you notice to quit. Might as well avoid the hassle of the eviction.
3. Let the eviction happen.

Dont listen to any of these stupid idiots, you dont have to goto court and if you do goto court, the court will make you PAY. Your best bet is to pack up and leave.
The next time you come into a situation like this you piss off the neighbors have the cops called on you a dozen times and the landlord will ask you to leave.
