✕Common Mistakes
Avvisa il padrone di casa le tue allergie.
The preposition *di* is required before the article; ‘le tue allergie’ omits it.
Avvisa il padrone di casa delle tuo allergie.
Allergie is feminine plural, so the possessive must be *tue*.
Avvisa il padrone di casa del tuo allergie.
‘del’ = *di* + *il* (masculine singular) and does not match the feminine plural noun.
Avvisi il padrone di casa delle tue allergie.
‘Avvisi’ is the formal imperative (Lei). Use it only if you want a very polite tone; otherwise ‘Avvisa’ is the natural informal form.

Cultural Tip
In Italy, it’s considered courteous to inform the landlord about health‑related needs early, especially if they might affect the cleaning routine or pet policies. If you don’t know the landlord well, you can switch to the formal imperative ‘Avvisi il padrone di casa…’ or use the polite form ‘La prego di informare il padrone di casa…’. Regional dialects may use ‘padroncino’ in the north, but ‘padrone di casa’ works everywhere.
