Summer sublet for Home Path Mortgage?

We bought a townhouse using a Home Path Mortgage. My husband will be working out of state this summer for 2 months. The mortgage agreement states we cannot use the property as a rental unless we refinance to a conventional mortgage. Does that include a short term, temporary rental? We would be leaving all of our furniture and the majority of our personal belongings.

    You cannot rent it. Maybe get a house sitter.

    Yes, renting is renting no matter the term. I sell FNMA homes and they have been known to check occupancy after closing.

    That includes renting it out in any capacity whatsoever.
