Trafford Magistrates' Court heard the landlord was prosecuted after an inspection at the property on Marlborough Street, Ashton-under-Lyne.
The gas boiler was found to be in a condition classified as 'immediately dangerous'.
It is understood the firm had previously failed to arrange an annual gas safety check at the house between 2007 and 2014.
The court was also told that Rent4U had previously been served with two Improvement Notices by HSE after failing to arrange annual gas safety checks at two other properties in 2013.
