Would I be committing mortgage fraud?

So If I purchase a home as my primary residence with all 100% honest intent to live in it. Mortgage laws say that I intent to inhabit the property as my primary residence. However, what if I have to relocate to another state 3-6 months after closing?

At that point, I have to choices, I can rent the property out or sell it. Both which would be violating the rule/law to live in it for a year.

Help?

Thanks in advance

Just rent it- the lender only really cares that they are getting paid...
