Toilet Repair in Pembroke Pines, FL
Pembroke Pines is a newer town, 5% of its housing built before 1990, where about 21% of households rent.
Short version
79% of occupied homes in Pembroke Pines are owner-occupied and 21% 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. Most of the housing there postdates 1990, so a 1.6 gallon fixture is the likely one, and age is rarely the explanation.

What the age of Pembroke Pines’s housing suggests
5% of Pembroke Pines’s housing predates 1990 — a small share. Most homes here were built under the 1.6 gallon maximum, so the fault is far more likely to be a part than the fixture.
As everywhere, this dates the house. A toilet can be replaced with an older one, and occasionally is.

What is actually wrong with it
Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.
Ask what happens to the floor. A leak at the base has usually been going for a while by the time it is visible, and whether the subfloor and flange are sound is the difference between a seal replacement and a return visit.
