I was under the impression that it is an optional choice for the sanyasi-s to stay at one place and do more sAdhana and dharma prachAra as these 4 months will be rainy season and travelling from one place to another is very difficult.

Yes, It is TRUE that to stay at one place & do Sadhana/mantra japa ansutana/ sastra parishodhana/adhyasa during this 4 months rainy season.
But all the preceptors who are giving the sanyasa deeksha are instructing their respective disciples to do Chaturmasya varata as Vidhi, & definetly not an optional.
There may be exemption for the day travel under comlusions or emergency visits (which I found recently) i.e you have to return to the place before sunset where you are performing the chaturmasya vrata. Offcourse this not applicable to all.
Even the Datta Peetha Uttaradhikari , Sri Datta Vijayananda Teertha Swamiji (Mysore Dattapeetadiswara: Avadhuta Sri Sri Ganapathi Sachhidananda Swami) performs the chaturmasya vrata with strict measures by not accompanaying his preceptor & His Guru for his USA travel during the month of JULY.
He is performing his chaturmasya vrata deeksha at mysore asram during this period.
Some of the Strict RULES are: Mitabhashanam, Eka Bhuktam, Floor Sleeping, Mundanam,  , There could be daily shaving in some sampraday's (but not for all), NO afternoon Sleeping, Early sleep in thr night (around 9PM) & Early wakeup by 4AM (Brahmma MUhurtha Sadhana is MUST & COMPULSORY) untill Devottana Ekadasi on Kartika Shukla Ekadasi. These I heard from sources  and learnt.

Chaturmasya Vrata is not an optional, it is definetly a Vidhi as per Shnakra's Dasanami Sampradaya.

Thanks for the information.  I was under the impression that it is an optional choice for the sanyasi-s to stay at one place and do more sAdhana and dharma prachAra as these 4 months will be rainy season and travelling from one place to another is very difficult.  I did not know that it is a vidhi and to be mandatorily followed in sannyasa Ashrama.
