Guarantors Responsibility For Breaking Lease (Florida)?

My sister moved in to an apartment with her friend (in Orlando, Florida) and her friends father signed as the guarantor. My sister woke up the other morning to find her “friend” moving out because she decided she didn’t want to continue paying rent anymore, assuming she would be a few thousand in debt for the remaining lease and that’s the end of it.

My question is, with her friends father as the guarantor, does he then become responsible for the debt due to the broken lease once the eviction process goes through and fees are assessed?

(My sisters boyfriends mom works at a law office and wanted a copy of the guarantor paper so she could look it over but the apartment complex is refusing to release it because its private so I’m trying to help my sister figure out what going to happen to her when this whole process begins and what she should expect)

Any information, especially if you work in the field, would be greatly appreciated.
