Toilet Repair in Clarksville, IN
In Clarksville, 86% of the housing was built before 1990. About 58% of households own their home and 42% rent, so this page has two readers.
Short version
58% of occupied homes in Clarksville are owner-occupied and 42% 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. Housing there is 86% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Clarksville’s housing suggests
86% of Clarksville’s housing predates 1990 and 8% predates 1940. That makes the pre-standard fixture the base case here rather than the exception.
It is a statement about the housing stock. A house built in 1935 has had ninety years in which somebody could have replaced the toilet, and many have.

What is actually wrong with it
Four complaints cover nearly all of it, and they are different faults rather than degrees of one. Running is the flapper or the fill valve. Nothing at all is usually the chain or a blockage. Water on the floor is four possibilities, one of which is not a leak. A weak flush is the water level, the chain, or the specification.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
