Toilet Repair in Russiaville, IN
About 73% of homes in Russiaville were built before 1990 and 92% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
92% of occupied homes in Russiaville are owner-occupied, so a failed toilet there is almost always the occupant's own to repair and the occupant's own to pay for. Nothing has to be cleared with anybody before the work is arranged. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 73% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Russiaville’s housing suggests

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
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.
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.
