Understanding Guarantor's Role in Tenant Documentation

We must provide our tenants copies of a few documents before they move in, e.g., gas safety certificate, EICR, EPC, How to rent guide and deposit information. And we ask them to sign a document to confirm they received them.

If the tenant requires a guarantor, does the guarantor also need copies of these documents?
