You have five days to answer the summons. If you don't timely answer the summons, a default judgment is generally entered within ten days. After that, a possession order is issued usually giving you a maximum of 72 hours to vacate.

Follow the instructionson the summons and answer the pleading. This will buy you some time and plus the judge may not allow you to be evicted.
