It will go on your record as a judgment against you IF they do not dismiss the case and you do not appear for the court date--in that event, if they continue with the case (for any reason--to make sure they have legal possession; because they are disorganzied and the lawyer did not get word that you had moved out; etc.) and you do not appear, they will get a "default judgement" against you. You may be out of the unit, rendering the case moot, but the court doesn't know that unless someone tells it.
If they don't dismiss the case in advance and prove to you that it was dismissed, show up for court--you can tell the clerk and/or judge that you have already left and they can dismiss the case.
