I understand I have to comply and plan to be out of the apartment by the 5 day, as it is a 5 day notice. If I take a notice to comply and vacate the premises to the manager of the apartments,take back all keys and give-up said premises, and am out before the 5 days, can they still "legally" evict me?

Just like everyone else in this whole wide world - including you - the Landlord has bills, expenses and taxes on his/her/their property - that same property YOU occupy.
The answer to your question - at least here in Pennsylvania - is ABSOLUTELY Y-E-S! YES!
Yes, the Landlord can sue you for the unpaid balance.
You already vacated the Property, so the Landlord doesn't have to go after you for rent and possession. BUT the Landlord wants his/her/their money. AND he/she/they want it ASAP - As Soon As Possible.
This is all any Landlord wants:
1] The Property taken care of properly - according to the terms of the lease.
2] The rent - on-time or ahead of time - without any excuses at any time.
3] Don't bother the Landlord for any thing at any time for any reason.
4] The Landlord will do his/her/their best not to bother you - unless he/she/they absolutely have to bother you.
What did you do with your rent? You don't have to answer me.
BUT I GUARANTEE YOU THIS: IF you rented from me - or any member of my wonderful family - and you pulled this stunt, I WOULD "track you down" to the ends of the earth.
AND I WOULD DEFINITELY sue you for the unpaid balance of rent.
AND IF you didn't pay me after I got my judgment against you (because I have THE TOUGHEST Lease in the world AND YOU KNOW ALL about my lease, because when we signed OUR Lease, the reading was tape recorded - I ALWAYS get my judgment), I would order EVERY BIT of your personal property sold at a public sale.
AND I WOULD HAVE ALL YOUR money in all your bank accounts seized.
AND I WOULD report your poor payment history to EVERY CREDIT REPORTING Bureau - ALL 4 of them.
&&&&&& IF I didn't get the full amount due PLUS ALL the extra costs, I WOULD CONTINUE to "chase" you and sell ALL YOUR possessions UNTIL I was paid.
There ain't no "free lunch", "free" breakfast, "free" dinner, "free" supper or "free" snack or anything else "free" - anywhere at any time for any reason.
Aren't you glad I answered your question - for everyone else to read?
I wish you well. I HOPE you decide to get your act together.
VTY,
Ron B.

All they really want is to be paid, is this your first notice? By law, they are required to give you a 30 day notice in Texas, I beleave it's 30 days but it may be differnt from state to state The landlord has to give you notice before they file with the Sheriff.
I would just pay if I needed a place to live you'll have to pay at some point any way plus if you pay it won't hurt your credit. Or I should say it will hurt your credit if you don't pay and you will have a hard time finding another place to rent.
I think if you leave you have been evited by there terms.

Who did you receive the notice from? The landlord or the Sheriff? Are you mid-lease or are you month-to-month?
It sounds like an eviction notice and unless you are renting and PAYING by the week, a 5-day notice is illegal. By law, they are required to give you a 30 day notice, whether you have paid or not.
However, IF YOU CAN be out in 5 days...be sure to keep a copy of the notice....that means you are only obligated to pay up to the day you left..plus its proof your landlord (if that is where the notice came from) did an illegal eviction.
Remember that you still need to backpay the landlord what you owe or they will turn it over to collections.

If you leave they can't evict you. There would be no reason to for you are already out of the apartment. Yet if you are not able to be out before the 5 day s are up they would have the right to evict and then take you to court to have the court put you out.

No. As long as you're out by the date in the Pay or Quit notice you can't be evicted. That said, they can still go after you for any unpaid rent AND the balance of any lease if your lease still has time to run on it.

no, if you vacate - then there is no need to go to court and evict you...
but
you will receive a small claims summons to pay the rent and damages that you still owe.
good luck

I wouldn't think so if you and all of your belongings are gone. There would be no need.
