The case for eviction against her will be dismissed because it becomes moot and academic since she already moved to another state. However, if she does not appear and the case was tried for damages, an unfavorable decision will be meted against her.

If she doesn't show up for her court date but has vacated the property before then she will be responsible for any unpaid rent, legal fees, etc. The landlord or the plaintiff will get a judgement by default because she's a no-show and the amout the landlord is asking for will show up as a judgement on her credit report. If she has VACATED it will not show up as an eviction, but as a collection. If she does decide to go to court the judge will more than likely order her to pay the fees and give her 5 days from the trial date to vacate the premises or else be thrown out. ]
But once again, if she leaves on her own she will get a collection on her credit,she will not have a warrant out or anything like that. However it will be hard for her to try to rent elsewhere in the future.

The landlord would get a default judgment. The far better procedure is, if you get an eviction notice, move right away, preferably before a court action is filed, but if this cannot be done until afterwards, ask the landlord to dismiss the action as moot. This will keep the eviction off your record. When I was managing apartments, an eviction on a prospective tenant's record was unconditionally disqualifying.

She needs to contact the court and make sure she is cleared. Usually when you miss court dates you get issued a bench warrant. If she was being taken to court in the first place that means she owes money to the land lord and now probably to the courts for their time. She should call before fees accrue over time.

An arrest warrant would be made. But if she is in another state the warrant probably won't show. But her eviction will go on her credit which will screw her out of getting another place.
