The way I am understanding Unlawful Detainers is this: If you do not file a written response to one, the landlord will win a default judgement. It doesn't matter if you have moved out or not.

Even if you have moved out, you need to retain possession of the unit in order to go through the court process.

Once you give up possession of the unit AND fail to respond to an Unlawful Detainer, you LOSE!
