To answer your question I would need more information but based on assumptions I would say you do not have to be out by the time you go to court, worse case scenario you are liable for rent to that point and may be ordered to leave the premises after having appeared i court.
As for being sued I am unsure as to why the landlord is suing you. If you have no lease you are month to month so the landlord can tell you to leave at any point after the month you are in passes because of the month to month lease.
If they are suing you for another reason I cannot begin to guess what it is. I advise you call a local attorney and speak to them briefly about the situation. They may be able to help further with the whole story
