Toilet Repair in Mooreland, IN
Mooreland has old housing and a mixed tenure: 77% of homes predate 1990, and 22% of households rent. Which of those you are changes the whole answer.
Short version
In Mooreland the split runs 78% owner-occupied against 22% rented. That makes responsibility a matter of your own address rather than the town's pattern, and it is worth settling before anybody is called out to the property. With 77% of the housing built before 1990, a fixture predating the 1.6 gallon standard may still be in place; the figure describes the building rather than the bathroom.

What the age of Mooreland’s housing suggests
Housing in Mooreland is mostly older than the standard: 77% of it went up before 1990. A toilet fitted when those homes were built used at least twice what a current one does.
Whether the original is still there is a different question, and the only way to settle it is to look at the fixture.

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.
Ask them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
