Am I reading this correctly regarding evictions

I'm in the process of getting my real estate license in Louisiana.  I just read this paragraph and want to know if I'm understanding it correctly:

Eviction

For failure to pay rent, the lessee can be expelled. If he has not waived notice, in writing, and the lease does not provide otherwise, the lessor must give five (5) days' notice to vacate. Upon filing eviction suit, the court will order the lessee to vacate, if the lessee is in default. Within three (3) days, if he does not vacate, the court may order that he be expelled and the property cleared. Special laws apply to these proceedings. Action by the lessor to evict, without following these laws and without court order, may result in liability of the lessor to the lessee, regardless of the default of the lessee.

When I read upon filing eviction suit, the court will order the lessee to vacate, it sounds to me like when they're late on rent they have to move out as soon as you file for the eviction.  Sounds good too good to be true, so am I misunderstanding?
