A quiz about the home is not limited to decorative anecdotes or pop culture questions. The most relevant topics today relate to energy regulations, the obligations of landlords, and the deadlines that condition the rental of a property. Testing one’s knowledge on these themes is a way to check if one understands the rules that apply concretely to their assets.
EPC and energy decency: the questions your quiz should ask
A quiz about the home that ignores the energy performance diagnosis would miss the most structuring topic for property owners. Properties classified as G can no longer be rented out since 2025. Those classified as F will follow in 2028, and those classified as E in 2034.
This progressive ban schedule transforms the EPC into a decisive document. It is no longer just an indicator displayed in an advertisement, but a criterion of decency of the property in the legal sense. A landlord who continues to rent out a property classified as G exposes themselves to legal action from the tenant.
We recommend incorporating questions about reading the EPC into any housing quiz: distinguishing between primary energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, thresholds for each class, and the validity period of the diagnosis. These are concepts that most property owners are not well acquainted with, and a fun format allows for effective retention. Platforms like quizmaison.net utilize this type of question to make regulations accessible without oversimplifying them.
MaPrimeRénov’ accompanied pathway: what property owners often overlook
Since September 30, 2025, MaPrimeRénov’ “accompanied pathway” targets individual properties classified as E, F, or G before renovations. The energy sieve exit bonus was removed in the same move. These two pieces of information, presented in a true/false format in a quiz, immediately reveal the respondent’s level of knowledge.
The most common confusion concerns the scope of the program. Many property owners still believe that any renovation entitles them to assistance, regardless of the property’s energy class. Targeting thermal sieves changes the logic: an energy audit must first be conducted, followed by a coherent work scenario.
A well-constructed quiz poses the question the other way around: “Your property is classified as D, are you entitled to the accompanied pathway?” The answer (no, except for exceptions) regularly surprises.
Multi-year work plan in co-ownership
Since January 1, 2025, the multi-year work plan project also applies to co-ownerships with fewer than 51 lots when they are over fifteen years old. This obligation, rarely addressed in mainstream formats, constitutes an excellent quiz topic for co-owners.
The question could focus on the age threshold, the number of lots concerned, or the expected content of the plan. Few co-owners know that this document must include an estimate of the energy performance level to be achieved.
Building a truly educational home quiz: quality criteria
The difference between an entertaining quiz and a useful quiz lies in three elements that we systematically observe in formats that generate lasting engagement.
- The regulatory source is cited in the explanation of the answer, not just a “true” or “false” without context. The respondent must understand why they were wrong
- The questions focus on concrete deadlines (2025, 2028, 2034) rather than vague principles. A quiz asking “Is energy renovation mandatory?” teaches nothing, because the answer depends on the property’s class and the owner’s status
- The level of difficulty is segmented: tenant, owner-occupier, landlord, co-owner. Each profile has distinct obligations, and a single quiz for all profiles dilutes the relevance of the questions
The most shared quizzes online are those that provoke an unexpected result. On housing topics, the gap between what people think they know and the regulatory reality naturally produces this effect.
Would your property still be rentable tomorrow?
This question summarizes the most impactful angle for a home quiz in 2025-2026. Posing the question in a scenario format (“You own an apartment built in the 1970s, never renovated, heated with fuel oil: can you still rent it out?”) forces concrete reflection.
The themes to cover in such a quiz go beyond just the EPC:
- The fight against inadequate housing, with municipalities now requiring a rental permit before any rental
- The obligations for maintaining equipment (boiler, ventilation, smoke detectors) that condition the decency of the property
- The mandatory diagnostics beyond the EPC: asbestos, lead, electricity, gas, depending on the age of the building
A quiz that covers these topics does not merely test general knowledge. It serves as a self-diagnostic tool for the respondent, who leaves with a concrete list of checks to perform on their own property.
The quiz format transforms regulation into active learning. Reading an article about landlord obligations remains passive. Answering a question, making a mistake, reading the explanation: this mechanism anchors information in a lasting way. On topics related to the home, where financial and legal stakes are real, this approach has a direct utility that few editorial formats can claim.
