They do and will.
Your mortgage is based upon the fact of you living there. If you move out and let it to third parties, you have breached the terms of the mortgage. You must obtain permission from the mortgagee to rent the property out. Don't bury your head in the sand with this one; it will come back to bite you. So deal with it now. The interest may well be a little higher, but this is something mortgage companies are used to dealing with and they will work with you.
It is also relevant for insurance. You must take out different insurance as you are becoming a landlord and the tax authorities in your home country need to know your rental income. Use a local accountant and a competent letting/management agent, preferably one who is a member of a reputable regulatory authority - in the UK it is RICS.
