"Avísenme si se mudan"

Mudar is used for people changing residence and mover is for moving something, although you could say something like: "¡Muévate!" commanding that someone hurry or even change their position.

I'm pretty sure you wanted to say "muévete" regarding its imperative form. - Oshnaj, Aug 1, 2016

Some verbs like let allow more ways for a phrase to be stated in Spanish.

  1. let me know can adopt two translations: avísenme or háganlo saber. The latter uses the infinitive, which is another way to phrase it.
  2. Depending on the verb followed by let, the subjunctive mood is also invoked (often with a clause):
    let him have it (= déjenlo que lo tenga.)

I would say: "Si se pasan de casa, me avisan" - if with "move", you're referring to change the place you live-

If you're referring to changing your body position or something like that, I would say "Si se mueven, me avisan"

"Se pasan de casa" is not idiomatic. Which country does use this? - Oshnaj, Aug 1, 2016
If you're asserting that it isn't idiomatic, so you may have the answer. - Santyy7, Aug 1, 2016
It doesn´t sound idiomatic to me either, but more of a regional usage. Where is this used? - 005faa61, Aug 2, 2016
I love when people want to learn, and this is your case JulianChivi. In Colombia, it's not very common to hear "mudar" for changing residence, on the other hand, this word is often used for teeth. - Santyy7, Aug 2, 2016
