It acts similar to other civil court cases. They will check to see if service was properly made, if so, they can either continue the case and send you another notice to appear or the defendant/plaintiff can motion for a default judgement (summary judgement).
The landlord will win by a default judgment. In some states, such as California, you must still present your case to the judge even though the tenant did not show up. In other states, such as Nevada, if the tenant does not show up you are awarded a default judgment and do not speak with the judge at all.
You can go to the court and ask for a hearing on the matter and tell them you weren't served papers.
That's his choice, but know that the eviction can still show in court records.
Landlord doesn't show? Case dismissed. If the Landlord is a Defendant and doesn't show: default judgment against them.
If the landlord did not show up in court they lost the case by default and can no longer go after you. If they wish to re-open the case they must re-file and hope that the judge will grant them a re-hearing. In the meantime you do not owe them whatever it was that you went to court over.

Stopping a check is not a crime unless you got services or goods and then stopped payment. That is not the case here. In fact, you are claiming that the landlord is attempting to defraud you, actually.Your landlord can take you to Small Claims Court to recover what he feels he is owed, but you can present your side of the case as well. The landlord will have to show how the damages exceeded $400 with photos and estimates (or paid invoices) for the repairs. You will be asked to show proof that you paid the security deposit that the landlord retained.

You would typically need to bring any relevant evidence or documents to support your case, such as the motion to vacate judgment and any related paperwork. The party who wants the order to show cause hearing (like the landlord in this case) would request it from the court to determine if there are valid reasons to dismiss the case.
