 a guarontor is someone for instance in your case if your daughter decides to pack up and do a runner if she rent arrears etc you would be liable to pay for these it's a security thing that has been in place for a while now xx

 If she doesn't pay the rent, then yes they can come after you but usually they will give a warning then throw her out after too many delinquent payments.
You say you are her mother and yet she is in such a hard position and your not jumping at the chance to help her. The most motherly thing you could do is understand the hardships of having children and volunteer to share your home with her. At the least help her with the baby so she can get more schooling and actually have a chance of living and not just surviving.
Your job as a mom doesn't end when your children become parents it just gets harder.
