Is renters insurance mandatory if you are a renter st Sherman associates?

Thanks for your response but shall an accident happens in my apartment who will be responsible for the damages i really would like to rent from the company but im not sure if i want to now because your telling me that renters insurance is not enforced but yet if anything happens accidently that causes substantial damage than what? Who would be held liable i want to know because i really like most of the properties....Thanks for advance.
