Need apartment lease advise about co-signer agreement, please help!?

Im trying to break my lease but I need to find someone else to replace my lease first. So I did, but neither his co-signer or himself alone can afford the rent, but combined they can. The rental office said we can't combine his income with the co-signer's income for rent of the apartment. It has to be either or. Is this normal? Sounds sketchy to me.

rent is based on what each individual person can afford.
Combined they still would not make enough to qualify
and unless the co-signer is moving in, that income doesn't count at all. All a co-signer is doing is placing themselves
in jeopardy that if this person they are co-signing for defaults
on his lease, then they can come after the co-signer.

That's very normal. The co-signer is there in case the tenant doesn't pay rent. If the co-signer can't afford the rent, they can't exactly be the backup.

Perfectly normal and legal.

Pay up. Intentions don't really matter; they didn't get the rent; you kept living in the apartment. Hand delivery of your rent check/money order is not the worst idea.
