Mr Hussain was found guilty of two charges under Section 33(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and was sentenced to two months in prison.
HSE inspector Roxanne Barker said: "It is important that landlords fulfil their legal gas safety obligations to their tenants by ensuring that an annual gas safety check is carried out by a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer, and that tenants are provided with a copy of these checks."
