As a former landlord, I would run a credit check. If you have a history of paying bills late, it makes a little bit of difference that you've recently paid up, but not that much.
I could reasonably expect that I'll have similar problems with late payments and will take that into account.

Your only bills are utility bills?? Are these old bills that have been sent to collections or are they your current bills?
Most landlords these days, check credit reports before they'll rent to you. You should get a copy of yours and see what is on there. I've posted the link to do this below. If your credit report doesn't have a lot of negative items on it and your income is enough to afford the rent, I don't think you should have a problem.

No, they should not refuse you because you have the proof of your payments. How much are you looking to pay for rent? Did you ever consider buying a home? There are many benefits to home ownership not to mention the tax breaks you can receive. If you are interested in buying a home I can help you to get pre approved for a loan so you will know how much you qualify for. Your mortage payments could be lower than your expected rent amount. Let me know.

If it still shows up on your credit report you probably won't be able to move without a co-signer.
