Good question. If you lost concerning the unlawful detainer action against you where the landlord received a judgment in his favor but has not yet served you with a writ of eviction, but subsequent to the judgment he or she received against you concerning the rental dispute you signed a whole new lease with the landlord presumably for the same unit you were renting, the new written lease controls the obligations you now owe to the landlord and vice versa.
Meaning, it seems that you are not going to be evicted as a result of the last court hearing.
