Toilet Repair in Canehill, AR
In Canehill, about 60% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 28% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
72% of occupied homes in Canehill are owner-occupied and 28% are rented, which is close enough to even that the first question is which you are. A landlord is generally responsible for a fixture in a tenancy; an owner is not. At 60% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Canehill’s housing suggests
About 60% of homes in Canehill predate 1990. That is close enough to even that the town average tells you very little about any one house, which is worth saying rather than dressing up.
What it does tell you is that both generations of fixture are common here, and they fail in different ways.

What is actually wrong with it
Work from the symptom rather than the fixture. Continuous running has a ten-minute test that settles it; water at the base is identified by when it appears rather than where; and a handle that does nothing is visible the moment the tank lid is off.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
