Proof of Residency for Unemployed (Naturalisation)

Hello. I applied for UK naturalisation as an EU citizen and I received a letter from the Home Office asking for proof of residency for the last few months before submitting my application, let us say 8. Out of those 8 months, the last month (whilst applying) I was unemployed and I do not have any means of covering that period period with payslips like I will do for the 7 months. What can I do in this case, please?

Thank you guys for your replies!

@cambs68
council tax bills, paid utility bills - they are included in the rent.
jsa, income support letters, housing association letters, child benefit letters - I have not claimed any benefits.
HMRC tax letters - the last one is from April.

rent payments - good idea, I will send bank statements, hoping they will recognise them as proof, because as far as I can remember, when applying for naturalisation online, I have seen somewhere that (only?) bank statements cannot be used as proof of living here.

@vinny
Thank you for the suggestion.
