Toilet Repair in Roswell, GA
In Roswell, about 56% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 25% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
75% of occupied homes in Roswell are owner-occupied and 25% 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 56% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Roswell’s housing suggests
56% of Roswell’s 40,359 housing units were built before 1990. EPA puts pre-standard toilets at 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons a flush against 1.6 for anything built to the standard.
In a town this evenly split the age of the house is a weak guide, and it is the age of the house rather than the toilet in any case.

What is actually wrong with it
The fault list is short. A running tank and a weak flush are both usually parts inside the tank. A leak at the base is the one that damages the building, and a fixture that rocks is the one that causes it.
If you are quoted for a new fixture, ask what ruled out the parts. Flappers and fill valves are inexpensive and account for most of what goes wrong, so replacing the toilet without testing them has skipped a step.
