What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Louisiana

How long do I have in Louisiana before I have to move once I have received an eviction notice? My landlord refused rent on the fifth of the month (I am on a month-to-month lease) and she told me to start looking for a place to move. Then I received papers she filed on August 17th to evict and there is a hearing scheduled day after tomorrow (8/21). Since I already agreed to move, do I need to even go to the hearing or do I need to go and make sure I am given ample time to move (I have a lot of furniture including a piano so I have to make arrangements, etc.) Don't I have at least 30 days? If so, when does the clock start ticking? From the fifth? The date she filed (8/17)? Or the hearing???? I am not trying to stay here, I just don't want to have to move in 24-48 hours. Don't they have laws to protect people from things like this?

Any help/advice would be most appreciated.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
