It depends on the landlord. Also, it's not necessarily as simple as "650 you're in, 649 you're out" (or whatever). They'll probably look at your history of payments and specifically whatyou've paid and not paid on time. (Not paying credit cards on time is not always a deal breaker; not paying rent on time usually is.) People who own an apartment or two (condominium, duplex, etc.) are sometimes (and then again, sometimes not) more accommodating than corporations (corporations are more likely to have hard and fast guidelines; people are all over the map on how much risk they feel like taking). If you're worried, tell them beforehand what the situation is and they'll likely either tell you not to bother applying or they'll say something like "Okay, we'll get a report and if there aren't any surprises there, then based on what you've told me I don't see a problem."
