I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. If you do not go to court the judge will enter a judgment against you and you will be ordered to leave on a certain date and wil be removed by a marshal. Usually, the judge will give you a week to be out or less. If you have good grounds to fight the eviction, then i would do it to buy time to find a new place.
