No, it is not mandatory for a soldier to be quartered in a private residence.
it means that you keep a soldier at your house because quarters means room or living space
Soldiers should not be quartered in time of peace unless it is necessary for their safety or for the security of the nation.
The US Constitution, Amendment III states, "No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law."
Congress
I believe what you are asking about is the third amendment to the US Constitution: No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law. "Quartered" however, means housing anyone, soldier or not, and it can be either voluntary or involuntary.
"No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law." This amendment prohibited the housing of soldiers in private homes during peacetime without the owner's consent.

It makes quartering legally permissible in wartime only, and then only in accordance with law.
