My Apartment
Most apartment landlords will check applicant's credit history and look for a Credit Score value which, at least to them, indicates the person is responsible and pays their bills.

It looks like consent of the person being removed is required.
It also looks like what will happen is there will be an entirely new lease created using only the data on the remaining person & a new credit check & a new security deposit for the new one-person lease.

You can't typically remove someone who co-signed a lease. You can apply for a new lease when the current lease expires. Your credit score and income level will still have to be good enough to meet the requirements of the landlord or property management company though. Otherwise you may not qualify without a co-signer.
In my country(Israel), most landlords require a co-signer unless you can pay about 3 months in advance of the rent price. Sometimes they are more forgiving or decide to be friendly with you, so they would skip this requirement, but that is kinda rare.
Its not easy to rent an apartment these days. Thats something I can agree with. Maybe in your country the situation is even worse?

My credit score is probably higher than hers, I pay on time & I never got into debt, my credit is very good.

Actually, what you say doesnt matter as much as what they see about you in terms of information about you. You can say your credit is great but they see something terrible about you. Yeah, easy to lie with words but they see the truth anyways.

Lack of a credit history (credit cards, loans, etc.) can make your score lower than having a few bad pieces in one's credit history. So the questions regarding credit are more like "how have you managed your credit in the past (& you must have some)", "what is your current debt load & what kind (college, medical, maxed out credit cards, etc.) of debt", & "what are your current income/earnings compared to your on-going debt & the costs of the apartment".
It's risk assessment & minimization.
It is possible to get someone off a lease, but it's up to who one rent's from if they allow it. I was the one let off a lease. My apartment-mate had to qualify for the full rent on his own. We both had to sign off on letting me out of the lease. Some landlords will require an entirely new lease instead, which frequently means paying the application fee so the leasing company can check credit.
Also, there's no guarantee that you'd get the same rent deal on the apartment you're in now, but California's rental laws can be very different.

I am very responsible with my money, I been very responsible with money since I was a teenager. For months, I been spending too much money more than usual, I’m learning again to save more money. I don’t buy things if I can’t afford them. With my credit card, I have a budget on how much I can spend, I pay my credit in the beginning of the month, to get it out of the way, I save the email saying my credit is paid so I can remember it.
I don't see how their credit score is good. One of the biggest factors in a credit score is how much available credit a person has in relation to the total. If they are nearly maxed out their credit score's not good.
