For example, the eviction could be based upon a 3 day notice to pay rent or quit, or a 3 day notice to perform covenant or quit, or a 3 day notice based upon you creating a nuisance.
   
   Most likely, you will already have moved out by the time any unlawful detainer case is adjudicated.

I would suggest discussing your case with an attorney who can advise you on what is going on and the time frames involved. Evictions can proceed very quickly if you do not properly act to protect your rights.
