That’s specifically a Franciscan thing (and friars are not monks). Monasticism is about stability and you stay in the same community/ house unless something exceptional happens.
It's a major reason I'm Franciscan and not Benedictine!
Although increasingly monasticism seems to focus on community rather than place - cf. the Community of St Gregory the Great
